X-pack breaks ES - several errors such as : java.io.FileNotFoundException: \\.\pipe\controller_log_8340 and Unknown Source errors

Brilliant Tim. It didn't work straight off. Tried and same error...

but... I uninstalled and reinstalled x-pack (with YML set) and all good. I used your name so that I could see it was getting the correct YML.

Steps

  1. modify as per your YML suggestion and to ensure the parms stick I used
    cluster.name: emmet-application-tim
    node.name: "emmet.data-tim"
    xpack.ml.enabled: false

started good

..it's 6:44pm in NZ.. I think we've earned a glass of wine. I'll have one for the both of us.
