It'd probably be useful to see your distro version like from /etc/issue.

[elasticmachine]

Pinging @elastic/es-core-infra (:Core/Infra/Packaging)

[rjernst]

The log file provided appears to only be the tail. Can you please provide the rest of the file? JNA failed to load, and it should have an error above the log file snippet here.

Separately, we currently lack graceful degredation for the systemd notifier hook when jna is not available. Need to think about what to do in this case, since we can't dynamically change systemd's reliance on this configuration option we have within our service file.

[tuckson]

Check your tmp directory. Can be set in jvm.options file
-Djava.io.tmpdir=<path> needs to be set to a writable directory. In default ES 7 this is set to a variable. Then of course this variable should be filled.

[lejeczek]

This is a head (it does not seem fixing ES_TMPDIR helps)

[rjernst]

We have not experienced this in our own testing. These are kinds of failures to initialize JNA are usually environmental issues, for example having /tmp mounted noexec. See the documentation for what seems like this exact issue: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/executable-jna-tmpdir.html. As this is not a bug, I hope you don't mind I close this issue.

[sktrinh12]

Hi Sorry to bring this issue up again; I got the same error on a centos machine and then installed openJDK which then gave me the error below. Can anyone please give me some clues on how to resolve the error? I followed that link about noexec for tmpdir but it kinda is over my head. Please be gentle, I am a newbie.

change in /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options

issue will fix.

after try every thing from every where you are right

[jaredbrogan]

change in /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options

#-Djava.io.tmpdir=${ES_TMPDIR}
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/log/elasticsearch

issue will fix.

Yep, that seemed to fix our problem as well.
The only thing I did differently was update /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch instead of /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options and added the following:

# Elasticsearch temp directory
ES_TMPDIR=/var/log/elasticsearch

Thanks for the help!

[BBvT]

change in /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options

#-Djava.io.tmpdir=${ES_TMPDIR}

Fixed my issue too! Thanks.

Worked for me too thank you so much!

[ddrager]

Ran into this issue, more hosts are providing servers with /tmp as noexec. Updating to exec or changing tmpdir fixed it.

[aeu]

I would like to add that @ddrager's comment is the correct one, it is caused by /tmp being mounted noexec.

[alainstout]

This seem to solve it for me too thanks so much
after tons of hours seeking why I don't get elasticsearch work for magento centos. :-)

mude em /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options
