Jar Hell is about Jar conflicts

Thanks and I can see that but those jar file is needed for my db2 server

Why do you need this in the Elasticsearch JVM?

To run Elasticsearch in parallel with another product that leverage elasticsearch and kibana for Dashboard.

It appears that Elasticsearch has conflict co-located with a system that has DB2 installed.

Do not modify the classpath of the Elasticsearch JVM.

I am not modifying any classpath. I ran the installer and this is the error I get.
I can see kibana is up and running.
When I try to install Elasticsearch it threw that error.

Kibana is ready to go.
see below.

Here is Elasticsearch when starting up.

The issue is with elasticsearch.

it threw the

ERROR: Elasticsearch did not exit normally - check the logs at C:\Kibana\elasticsearch-8.13.2\logs\elasticsearch.log

ERROR: Elasticsearch died while starting up, with exit code 1

This is not part of the Elasticsearch jvm or distribution

C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\SQLLIB~1\java\db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar

This is from IBM DB2. I think there is a co-location issue.
Thanks I think I have what I need.

Probably. Not sure why ES is not starting with the embedded JVM and with this JAR.
May be look at your env variables.
