Elasticsearch defaults to using `/etc/elasticsearch` for runtime configuration.
|
||
|
|
The ownership of this directory and all files in this directory are set to
|
||
|
|
`root:elasticsearch` on package installation and the directory has the `setgid`
|
||
|
|
flag set so that any files and subdirectories created under `/etc/elasticsearch`
|
||
|
|
are created with this ownership as well (e.g., if a keystore is created using
|
||
|
|
the <<secure-settings,keystore tool>>). It is expected that this be maintained so
|
||
|
|
that the Elasticsearch process can read the files under this directory via the
|
||
|
|
group permissions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Elasticsearch loads its configuration from the
|
||
|
|
`/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml` file by default. The format of this
|
||
|
|
config file is explained in <<settings>>.
