I'm getting the weirdest error. After running config management to install elasticsearch on an instance, when I do sudo service elasticsearch start I get a Broken pipe error and ssh cuts out. Then after less than a minute I can ssh into the machine again, but elasticsearch isn't running. I try it again and same thing.

There's nothing in the elasticsearch logs, and I'm just at a loss of what to do.

This seems to be an issue with a new kernel that has been deployed on GCP for the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS OS.

Problem Kernel: uname -a Linux elasticsearch-1-vm 4.13.0-1007-gcp #10-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 12 13:56:47 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Proper Kernel: uname -a Linux elasticsearch-1-vm 4.13.0-1006-gcp #9-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 8 21:13:15 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

To fix the issue with the GCP instances, I ran: sudo apt remove 4.13.0-1007-gcp sudo apt install 4.13.0-1006-gcp exit Then in google cloud console, restart the instance, then SSH back in then: sudo service elasticsearch start
