This is the key error.

How did you install Elasticsearch? Did you use the `.rpm` installer or the `.tar.gz` installer?

Has this Elasticsearch node been running for more than 10 days before you attempted to open the ML job?

If you are using the `.tar.gz` installer and your Elasticsearch node has been running for more than 10 days then [this advice](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.4/es-tmpdir.html) is probably relevant.

If you are using the `.rpm` installer then we need to work out why the `systemd` private temp directory functionality we added in 6.4 didn't work as expected.
