Description
I have noticed an increase in users not able to start Elasticsearch after installation, and they are only providing the response from the service start command. Is it possible to have Elasticsearch return a message like "Please check your Elasticsearch logs for more information." to the output to give people a hint on what to do next. I feel that it'd help reduce a lot of friction and give users guidance.
Here's some recent topics where it would have helped;
