Arch Linux

i start a fresh install inside a container with elasticsearch + graylogs. config my elasticsearch.yml and save in /etc/graylog/server.

java is 8 and all system is updated. install elasticsearch from AUR and use "makepkg -sri" to install it.

systemctl enable elasticsearch work and syslink are created:

[reversal@graylog-server bin]$ sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/elasticsearch.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service.

try to start elasticserach with "systemctl start elasticsearch" and i have this:

[reversal@graylog-server bin]$ sudo systemctl start elasticsearch
Job for elasticsearch.service failed.
See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
[reversal@graylog-server bin]$ systemctl status elasticsearch.service
