Elasticsearch start error:Native controller process has stopped - no new native processes can be started

Question

When I install elasticsearch on my virtual machine, elasticsearch does not start properly.

I tried to do these: vi /etc/security/limits.conf

• soft nofile 65536
• hard nofile 131072
• soft nproc 2048
• hard nproc 4096

vi /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf

• soft nproc 4096

vi /etc/sysctl.conf vm.max_map_count=655360

[es@test elasticsearch-7.3.1]$ ./bin/elasticsearch

I want it to start normally, but it always shows this error: [2019-09-10T22:53:05,593][INFO ][o.e.x.m.p.NativeController] [test] Native controller process has stopped - no new native processes can be startedenter code here

Answer 1

Here is the problem : [max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]

That work for me :

 sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=280530
