Elasticsearch restart itself after stop about azure-marketplace HOT 1 CLOSED

Monit is installed onto each VM, to restart the process if it unexpectedly stops. The fact that Elasticsearch is being restarted is a good sign as it indicates monit is working 😄 To stop the service in a way that monit will not restart it, use

sudo monit -g elasticsearch stop

If you see the error

monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support?

Then restart the monit service using

sudo service monit restart

and run the command again to stop the elasticsearch group

sudo monit -g elasticsearch stop

Once you are finished doing what you need to do and have made your changes, you can start elasticsearch service again using

sudo service elasticsearch start
sudo monit start all

This will also start monit again to monitor the elasticsearch service.
