      Hi,

       

      I am referring the below article to setup and configure remote elasticsearch node for Bitbucket DC 5.3 on CentOS 7.

      https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver053/install-and-configure-a-remote-elasticsearch-instance-938023020.html

      It mentions - 

      1. Create a directory called buckler within the elasticsearch/config directory. 
      1. Within the elasticsearch/config directory, create a file named buckler.yml

       

      I created the same under /usr/share/elasticsearch/config directory.

       

      But when I start Elasticsearch, I see the warning in the log file

       

      Oct 11 09:35:07 gvastict101.temenos.com elasticsearch[31197]: [2018-10-11 09:35:07,418][WARN ][com.atlassian.elasticsearch.buckler.config.BucklerConfig] Buckler config file missing, tried path: /etc/elasticsearch/buckler/buckler.yml

       

      This implies that Elasticsearch did not pickup the config file for Buckler.

       

      On digging further in the ES website URL - 

      https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/setup-dir-layout.html

      I understand that by default the conf directory is "/etc/elasticsearch/" and therefore either I create the buckler directory under this location. OR continue to create under /usr/share/elasticsearch/ but change the default location for conf directory in the elasticsearch.yml file.

       

      I feel the documentation has to make this clear.

       

      Regards,

      Prince
