Have you modified your elasticsearch.yml, specifically the path.conf section?

3

Yes i added below, as path.conf wasn't present in yml file before.

path.conf: /opt/elasticsearch/config/

4

Does that location exist?

5

Unless you are changing it from the default, you don't need to define it.

6

yes it does

[elastic@NODE config]$ pwd

/opt/elasticsearch/config

[elastic@NODE config]$ ls -ltr

This is strange. I know path.data and path.logs are config settings, but this is the first time I have seen path.conf :frowning:
