@simroo looks like Kibana is failing to start because of an invalid kibana.yml file. The log doesn't say where that file it located but it seems to have invalid Yaml. How did you install Kibana? You will probably have better luck just downloading it from the site: [elastic.co/downloads/kibana](http://elastic.co/downloads/kibana) ---
