Elasticsearch can be installed as a service to run in the background or start automatically at boot time without any user interaction. This can be achieved upon installation using the following command line options
INSTALLASSERVICE=true
STARTAFTERINSTALL=true
STARTWHENWINDOWSSTARTS=true
Once installed, Elasticsearch will appear within the Services control panel:
and can be stopped and restarted from within the control panel, or from the command line using:
with Command Prompt:
sc.exe stop Elasticsearch sc.exe start Elasticsearch
note:Run cmd with administrator privileges 。
with PowerShell:
Get-Service Elasticsearch | Stop-Service | Start-Service
Changes can be made to jvm.options and elasticsearch.yml configuration files to configure the service after installation. Most changes (like JVM settings) will require a restart of the service in order to take effect.
