Running elastic search for the first time: errors

Help
1

Hi,

I just installed elastic search on my ubuntu VM and I’m trying to run it for the first time but encountering errors.

I’m doing everything according to this tutorial: digitalocean

when I add the lines:

. . .
discovery.type: single-node
xpack.security.enabled: true

to the end of the elasticsearch.yml file, I get an error:

elasticsearch.service: Failed with result ‘exit-code’

but without it I won’t have xpack enabled and can’t continue to the next steps in the tutorial.

any ideas what I should do?

Just checking. Is . . . also a part of your yml?

Hi,

I recommend you visit the community resources for elastic for more assistance.

While it’s possible that a member of the Suricata community can help you, I suspect the elastic community will be able to help you.

yep, I’m an idiot. deleted that part, no more of that error but for some reason it says the X-Pack Security is disabled
