=== JVM fatal error logs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The <<rpm,RPM>> and <<deb,Debian>> package distributions default to configuring
|
||
|
|
the JVM to write fatal error logs to `/var/lib/elasticsearch`; these are logs
|
||
|
|
produced by the JVM when it encounters a fatal error (e.g., a segmentation
|
||
|
|
fault). If this path is not suitable for receiving logs, you should modify the
|
||
|
|
entry `-XX:ErrorFile=/var/lib/elasticsearch/hs_err_pid%p.log` in
|
||
|
|
<<jvm-options,`jvm.options`>> to an alternate path.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the archive distributions do not configure the error file path by
|
||
|
|
default. Instead, the JVM will default to writing to the working directory for
|
||
|
|
the Elasticsearch process. If you wish to configure an error file path, you
|
||
|
|
should modify the entry `#-XX:ErrorFile=/error/file/path` in
|
||
|
|
<<jvm-options,`jvm.options`>> to remove the comment marker `#` and to specify an
|
||
|
|
actual path.
