#Hi all,

when i tried to run the logging aggregation following your video on youtube , i found out the following error generated by elasticsearch:

[2018-02-04T13:44:04,259][INFO ][o.e.b.BootstrapChecks ] [elasticsearch-logging-0] bound or publishing to a non-loopback or non-link-local address, enforcing bootstrap checks ERROR: [1] bootstrap checks failed [1]: max file descriptors [1024] for elasticsearch process is too low, increase to at least [65536] [2018-02-04T13:44:04,268][INFO ][o.e.n.Node ] [elasticsearch-logging-0] stopping ...

BTW i am running a kubernetes cluster v1.8.0 on minions and 1.9.0 on masters using cri-containerd on Ubuntu machines 16.04.
