Hello, Welcome and thanks for posting in the forums. I am not sure that the `INFO`-level message you posted points to the underlying issue. It doesn't seem like that message gets logged in a case that would shut down the node. Are you retrieving these log messages with `journald` or by looking in a file? -William ---

I retrieve these log messages in the file generated by elasticsearch and in the directory "path.logs" ---

If you're running Elasticsearch under systemd, you might be able to find an informative systemd error in the output of `journalctl --user elasticsearch.service` or `systemctl status elasticsearch`. I hope this is helpful. Pinpointing these failures can be tricky. -William ---

In journalctl, I get only 'failed to start Elasticsearch' ---
