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

I think that you have installed your elasticsearch using yum or apt-get The best way of doing this is by typing:

$ sudo service elasticsearch start

or anything similar, like the way you would start services like nginx, etc.

It works for me.
