sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch.service

Checking to see if Elasticsearch is running.

sudo systemctl status elasticsearch.service

Starting Elasticsearch

sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service

Stopping Elasticsearch

sudo systemctl stop elasticsearch.service

To remove elasticsearch from auto start use the usually systemd disable.

sudo systemctl disable elasticsearch.service

MacPorts includes a version of Elasticsearch that will work with Observatory.

You can manage your Elasticsearch service with the ports command.

If you are using MacPorts you can start elasticsearch with

and stop it with

sudo port unload elasticsearch
