+### Kernel Settings
+
+# Elasticsearch installs system call filters of various flavors depending on the
+# operating system (e.g., seccomp on Linux). These system call filters are
+# installed to prevent the ability to execute system calls related to forking
+# as a defense mechanism against arbitrary code execution attacks on
+# Elasticsearch The system call filter check ensures that if system call
+# filters are enabled, then they were successfully installed. To pass the system
+# call filter check you must either fix any configuration errors on your system
+# that prevented system call filters from installing (check your logs), or at
+# your own risk disable system call filters by setting
+# bootstrap.system_call_filter to false.
+# See: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/system-call-filter-check.html

+# seccomp is found in Linux kernels: 2.6.37\962.6.39, 3.0\963.19, 4.0\964.9,
+# 4.10-rc+HEAD
+#
+# The default setting is to disable the filters assuming an older kernel
+# version where seccomp is not available.
