Deploy ELK stack on AWS EC2

Question

I am trying to set up ELK stack on AWS EC2 instance. I am new to this and i am following this tutorial I found online: https://avarjana.medium.com/setting-up-elk-stack-elastic-stack-on-aws-ec2-instance-fc2e1b006fe3.

But when I run service elasticsearch start, I get this error message:

Job for elasticsearch.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xeu elasticsearch.service" for details.

Any idea what is going on? Can't the ELK stack be deployed on AWS?

What is the output from the commands recommended? They should show you what is going on. ELK works fine on AWS. — stdunbar, Commented Aug 25, 2022 at 17:54
Figured it out. It was an indentation issue in my elasticsearch.yml file. — Eby, Commented Aug 25, 2022 at 20:13

Like OP said this issue was caused due to bad indentation in elasticsearch.yml file.
