looks like your `elasticsearch.yml` has been modified and is broken.

If you want to share it with us, please format it using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````
```
CODE
```

````

This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format:

There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons.
