Hi guys, Is there a way I can run ElasticSearch nodes as Windows Service on Windows 2008 R2 Servers? Has anyone tried it? Is there any related documentation?

Hello, I'm not on Windows if I remember correctly, it's just a matter of running elasticsearch.bat to make it work.

Hi, We have been using ES as a service for at least last 6 months using yajsw ([http://yajsw.sourceforge.net/](http://yajsw.sourceforge.net/)) on Windows 2003 server and Windows 7. We usually configure two nodes (one master and one data) in each physical server, and both are registered as separate service in each server. This was essential for our server as our physical servers are remote machines and we use Windows Remote Desktop (multiple users, multiple terminals) to connect to them. So, running ES from any particular logged in user was problematic for us. It is pretty easy enough. Following are the steps. 1. start your elasticsearch.bat 2. Grab the java pid using ProcessExplorer 3. Use the pid to generate a yajsw config file. 4. Change service name in the config file. 5. Shut down elasticsearch. 6. Register the service using the config file. 7. Start the service from Windows services screen. 8. Keep the config file safe, it will be necessary for uninstalling the service, if necessary. Hope this helps. In case u need any more details, please ask. -- Sujoy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I tried installing the service using the procedure on - > **[Running ElasticSearch as a Service on Windows 2008 x64](https://captaincodeman.com/elasticsearch-windows-service-2008-x64)** I was able to install the service successfully. However, I see some stability issues with the service. The service stops abruptly with Java fatal error.. Any of you guys experienced this issue? I am looking for alternative solution now.. @Sujoy, Do you have more info on the service you created? Do you mind sharing, the config file, other settings you had used for your service, please.

Sujoy, We have been running the service for more than a week now. So far it has been very stable. However I see one issue with the service, the Windows Service doesn't start automatically when the system reboots. If I start it manually after the system rebbot, it does start without any issues. I have configured the service's 'Startup Type' to be 'Automatic', and 'Log On As' to be 'Local System". Did you guys have any similar issues? Any pointeres??

Hi, Is it somehow related to windows credentials? Can u make the service run under any user account upon restart by providing the log on credentials in the service? -- Sujoy.

Good guess! Could be related to that.. Let me try giving the server credentials... and maybe I will try configuring the service with Logon type 'network service' instead of 'local system'.

Just to clarify: Since 0.90.5, Elasticsearch provides support for installing Elasticsearch as a service out of the box through service.bat [1]. The installer mentioned in this thread is outside Elasticsearch and Hendrik takes all the credit for it. Cheers, P.S. 0.90.6 will have some nice fixes, especially when dealing with custom memory settings.
