== Running As a Service
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It should be simple to wrap the `elasticsearch` script in an `init.d` or
|
||
|
|
the like. But, elasticsearch also supports running it using the
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-servicewrapper[Java Service Wrapper].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ElasticSearch can be run as a service using the `elasticsearch` script
|
||
|
|
located under `bin/service` location. The repo for it is located
|
||
|
|
http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-servicewrapper[here]. The
|
||
|
|
script accepts a single parameter with the following values:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[horizontal]
|
||
|
|
`console`:: Run the elasticsearch in the foreground.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`start`:: Run elasticsearch in the background.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`stop`:: Stops elasticsearch if its running.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`install`:: Install elasticsearch to run on system startup (init.d / service).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`remove`:: Removes elasticsearch from system startup (init.d / service).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The service uses Java Service Wrapper which is a small native wrapper
|
||
|
|
around the Java virtual machine which also monitors it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note, passing JVM level configuration (such as -X parameters) should be
|
||
|
|
set within the `elasticsearch.conf` file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `ES_MIN_MEM` and `ES_MAX_MEM` environment variables to set the
|
||
|
|
minimum and maximum memory allocation for the JVM (set in mega bytes).
|
||
|
|
It defaults to `256` and `1024` respectively.
