I have an Elasticsearch cluster running v5.2.0. The master and query servers in the cluster are happily writing out logs, but the data servers haven't written any logs in at least 5 months. logging.yml and log4j2.properties are identical, and the cluster is doing everything else it's supposed to be doing. Just the logs not writing on the data nodes. If anyone has run across this and has an idea....
