When starting Elasticsearch using elasticsearch.bat, I’m seeing the following errors related to plugin types:

2024-07-09 16:27:58,817 main ERROR Unable to locate plugin type for IfFileName
2024-07-09 16:27:58,823 main ERROR Unable to locate plugin type for IfFileName
2024-07-09 16:27:58,843 main ERROR Unable to locate plugin for IfAccumulatedFileSize
2024-07-09 16:27:58,844 main ERROR Unable to locate plugin for IfFileName

These errors indicate that Elasticsearch is unable to locate necessary plugins (IfFileName and IfAccumulatedFileSize) required for log rolling policies.

Ownership Mismatch Warning:
I also get a warning:

Aborting auto configuration because of config dir ownership mismatch. Config dir is owned by BUILTINAdministrators but auto-configuration directory would be owned by DESKTOP-9RS8J15Lenovo

This warning suggests a directory ownership conflict where Elasticsearch’s configuration directory has differing ownership permissions between BUILTINAdministrators and DESKTOP-9RS8J15Lenovo.

Here’s a snippet from my log4j2.properties configuration file (log4j2.properties):

I’m seeking guidance on how to resolve these issues:

How can I correctly configure or install the required plugins (IfFileName and IfAccumulatedFileSize) for Elasticsearch?
What steps should I take to resolve the ownership mismatch warning related to the config directory?
Is there a recommended approach to ensure Elasticsearch uses my specified JAVA_HOME (C:Program FilesJavajdk-21.0.1) instead of the bundled JDK?
Any insights or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
