Elasticsearch can't write to log files

Question

I would like to activate logs of elasticsearch .

When I run elasticsearch binaries, I realize that I have problems with logging : the configuration cannot be loaded !

Answer 1

Your elasticsearch.yml file as well as logging.yml file will be in the /etc/elasticsearch folder.

Create a config folder in your elasticsearch folder in /usr/share and move the .yml files to the config folder

Now run /bin/elasticsearch start and it will work.
