Running a cluster with Elasticsearch 7.4.2 on Centos 7, ES was installed using RPMs  
There is a version of java (1.13.0.1.9) included in /usr/share/Elasticsearch that our Nessus scans are hitting on. Can I have ES use the version of java (1.8.0) in /usr/bin/java?

TIA,

Elasticsearch 7.4 is [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) and no longer supported. Please upgrade ASAP.

Yes.

But please upgrade, 7.4 is very, very old.
