Elasticsearch running but not from service

[mmahalwy]

I keep getting that the status of the elasticsearch is not running, but if I visit :9200 it is running.

Also when I ps aux:

root     12875  1.3 10.8 2421188 221960 ?      Sl   02:18   0:09 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -Xms256m -Xmx1g -Xss256k -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX

is on the list.

I would like the service to work and not have ES run in the background!

I'm seeing the same thing - installed with RPM which probably has it's own service definition and then the Elastic Search Cookbook adds another one from template.

Hello! We've re-written the cookbook using libraries that expose resources and providers, so you shouldn't see this problem on the newer version; it directly supports installing from package. Hope this helps!

Woot! Thanks @martinb3
