Hi@akhtar,

You need to set permission for elasticsearch user. You can use the below-given command to do so.

$ chmod o+x /root/ /root/elasticsearch/
$ chgrp elasticsearch /root/elasticsearch/
$ su - elasticsearch

Now your elasticsearch user will have the access to see the data of /root/elasticsearch folder.
