Also are you on the correct folder(where it was downloaded)? I assume so.

@dbeato Thanks. I did some research and found that elasticsearch needs at least java 8. JB suggested using dnf install java. It contained version 11 jdk. I have done that and am trying to complete the reset of the wazuh installation.

I've stuck with OpenJRE/OpenJDK when needed. Oracle never seems to get their installer right on linux.

It looks like logstash is using an option that no longer exists in java, "UseParNewGC"

Argh.

wrx7m

OK. I found I could run

yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

to install version 8. After that, I was able to install logstash successfully.

Is there a reason that you want an old version?

I'd assume that is what Oracle says to use for Fedora.

That would just mean that Oracle's docs are out of date.

It's wazuh's documentation. They have specific repos for other things too. Not sure why they are still using yum instead of dnf.

Pull your head out of your ass and don't blindly type what any guide says. Even one of mine.

If you are using Fedora, you use dnf period. Yes, currently Fedora still has a reroute/alias for it to dnf, but you should not assume it will be there.

Yep, yum will be retired when Fedora 31 or sooner. It was going to happen with Fedora 29 release.

#chilloutbro You can leave off the first part of that sentence and still provide a constructive answer.
