Not sure how you start Elasticsearch, but can you share the output of the standard output, if you do this on the console (or are you running as a service). Also, sharing your configuration would probably help. ---

Earlier I installed ES as Windows service through Windows MSI installer, then there was no config folder under elastic search .So i stopped windows service and downloaded zip folder and started ES through command prompt "elasticsearch". there was config folder in zip file which I downloaded but still logs wernt coming in Logs folder. Later after uninstalling ES which I installed through MSI installer ,Zip folder ES started working fine and log are coming successfully ---
