Hello, I am unable to properly start elasticsearch 0.90.9 and higher inside Debian wheezy openvz containers with the following error: Starting ElasticSearch Server:sysctl: permission denied on key 'vm.max\_map\_count' Outside of running this on bare metal, is there any other way to get around this permission problem? I'm assuming the requirement is coming from some enhancements to ES to make it more useful with marvel. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I's openvz that does not allow to run sysctl. It's not permission, it's because of openvz guest architecture. Such a guest does not have access to the kernel. You can comment out the sysctl lines and run those commands in the openvz host instead. Jörg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I'm a newcomer to elasticsearch. Where should I comment out the sysctl lines ? On Friday, January 31, 2014 2:43:25 PM UTC-6, Jörg Prante wrote: > I's openvz that does not allow to run sysctl.

I sorted that out, but am still inable to view metrics inside marvel: No results. There no results because no indices were found that match your selected time span. I do see quite a number of elasticsearch metrics inside kibana however, including: index\_stats 1784 Does anyone have any idea on how to get that working ?

A thought Have you installed the Marvel plugin at least on the local machine? By default the marvel website is configured to interrogate localhost.
