The unit elasticsearch.service has entered the 'failed' state with result 'exit-code'

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

After new installation of 7.14, I am getting this error when I try to start the service.
Tried different solutions on from this forum without any luck.
I am new to Elasticsearch so need help.
Following are the logs from

journalctl -xe

Hi @Christian_Dahlqvist,
Thanks for your response.

I ended up uninstalling the Elasticsearch completely and re installing it. Now its working fine. Thanks for looking into it.
