ES Logging Not Working

[NickPadilla]

I have been trying to get logging to work with this cookbook, and can't seem to do so. I set the root level to TRACE and still get no logs, anywhere. Is there something I am missing or is there a bug in ES where logging is broken?

I have left the default logging locations and no logs come up even when ES is found running. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Nick

Okay this is a non issue when using the proper init script. Once I moved to using the debian/unbuntu script at issue #98 I am getting the proper logging. Just in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

You should just set the relevant parameters as node attributes. It has no relation to any "debian/unbuntu script".

Of course, you have to run Elasticsearch properly, not just with elasticsearch -f, so it picks up the proper ENV vars, etc. But you have to do that anyway.

@karmi Hey Karel! Yeah i had ES Running with my configurations - my cluster.name was correct and such. However, I wasn't getting any logging. Not sure why at this point, but maybe there was additional issues running the original init.d script on Ubuntu 12.04. Anyhow, thanks for the response! You rock!
