sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/searchblox/bin - Increase the map count to run Elasticsearch without issues
sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
Elasticsearch also requires the ability to create many memory-mapped areas. The maximum map count check checks that the kernel allows a process to have at least 262,144 memory-mapped areas and is enforced on Linux only. To pass the maximum map count check, you must configure vm.max_map_count via sysctl to be at least 262144. - Go to start.ini and give port 8080 at line number 143
- Run/start Elasticsearch and SearchBlox services
systemctl start sbelastic
systemctl start searchblox - To stop Elasticsearch and SearchBlox use the commands below
systemctl stop sbelastic
systemctl stop searchblox
