Setting ES_MIN_MEM and ES_MAX_MEM

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi guys,
I am trying to set -Xmm and -Xms when starting elasticsearch. It should be
very easy clean, however I am using debian and I am running my
elasticsearch by "service" command. I could put it to work editing
.../bin/elasticsearch.in.sh or .../init.d/elasticsearch. But I don't think
this is a good/clean solution. Is there any file where I should put these
settings that will overwrite the default value?

I read the following links but could not find any working solution. (my
installation does not have any elasticsearch.conf).

/etc/default/elasticsearch is the one you want.

Great, it worked.
Yesterday I tried adding in this same file the option -Xms=4g in the
ES_JAVA_OPTS but it was not working.
Guess I just had to update the ES_HEAP_SIZE as it was overwriting my
previous option.

Thanks a lot,
Pablo Musa
