I needed to disable a bootstrap test.

Reading  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/bootstrap-checks.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/bootstrap-checks.html)

Failed to give me exact steps for which config file held this option (jvm.options? elasticsearch.yml?), or how it was formatted.

Killed some time trying diff things.

Which bootstrap check are you having problems with? What is the error message?

I was trying to set bootstrap.system\_call\_filter to false

The docs kinda point to jvm.options, which is incorrect.  
The docs do not clearly state that bootstrap options go in elasticsearch.yml, (at least not to my eyes)
