Unrecognized VM option 'UseParNewGC'

[zicmama]

trying to install

but with on debian buster

sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jre

./elasticsearch
Unrecognized VM option 'UseParNewGC'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Is it because of JRE v11?

Probably. You can try:

• to remove this options, from all Elasticsearch scripts
• to install a JDK 1.8

Let me know

@zicmama Alors ? :)

Yes comment in ./elasticsearch.in.sh

# ES_GC_OPTS="$ES_GC_OPTS -XX:+UseParNewGC"

let it run, do you see it?

else than redirecting output in log file, is there a monitoring port or service?
gchange-pod script can be used to add to INITV or systemd?

Please try to get this info from the ElacticSearch documentation.
Ghange Pod is just a standard ES v2.4 installation...
