2
+ === JVM fatal error logs
3
+
4
+ The <<rpm,RPM>> and <<deb,Debian>> package distributions default to configuring
5
+ the JVM to write fatal error logs to `/var/lib/elasticsearch`; these are logs
6
+ produced by the JVM when it encounters a fatal error (e.g., a segmentation
7
+ fault). If this path is not suitable for receiving logs, you should modify the
8
+ entry `-XX:ErrorFile=/var/lib/elasticsearch/hs_err_pid%p.log` in
9
+ <<jvm-options,`jvm.options`>> to an alternate path.
10
+
11
+ Note that the archive distributions do not configure the error file path by
12
+ default. Instead, the JVM will default to writing to the working directory for
13
+ the Elasticsearch process. If you wish to configure an error file path, you
14
+ should modify the entry `#-XX:ErrorFile=/error/file/path` in
15
+ <<jvm-options,`jvm.options`>> to remove the comment marker `#` and to specify an
16
+ actual path.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
