I installed elasticsearch on Ubuntu 16.04.
When I enter sudo service elasticsearch start, everything works.
But the service is not running on startup. Before starting it manually, sudo service elasticsearch status gives me:
elasticsearch.service - Elasticsearch
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service; disabled; vend
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: http://www.elastic.co
I tried to add it to startup with:
sudo update-rc.d elasticsearch defaults and sudo update-rc.d elasticsearch enable, but this changes nothing.
What could be the problem, and how can I debug this?

One way to start Elasticsearch is by extracting the . tar file and entering the bin directory and running the command ./elasticsearch . The other way, if you install it using apt or apt-get is by running systemctl start elasticsearch or systemctl start elasticsearch. service .
The answer to your problem is running this:
sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch.service
Elasticsearch on Ubuntu 16.04 uses SystemD not System V anymore.
For some reason when (as of 9th Jan 2016) you install ES 5.1 (not sure if other versions are affected) from APT by default this service does not start.
