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?

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