Windows Service Memory Limitations version 6.1.1

Hi there,

The question is probably pretty obvious but I just can’t find it… After installing the windows service (both the msi and zip, via sc.exe) I can’t just the jvm.options to anything above -Xmx1G… If I do (-Xmx4G, for instance) the service will not start with an unhandled exception thing… What is happening here.

Tks in advance...

BR,
T

Please post the error.

Is there anything in the Elasticsearch logs?

Are you using a 64-bit version of Windows?

Yes, 64 bit, a VM on Azure running Windows Server 2012 R2.
The logs shows nothing relevant.
"stopping ...
stopped

closed"

I finally found the solution. It’s very simple, just install the Server JRE (Java SE Runtime Environment) and config your ES to use it. And that’s it.
