I know how to host kibana on command prompt . But we need to install Kibana on servers , and ensure that kibana starts automatically when the server restarts .

I hosted kibana on servers using command prompt , but the problem is when the server restarts the i have to again restart Kibana everytime using command promt.

Note: I have already installed ES as service, so when server reboots it starts auomatically . Same i need for kibana

There appears to be some work effort towards this in [https://github.com/elastic/windows-installers](https://github.com/elastic/windows-installers), but Kibana is not available yet.

Meanwhile, you may look at this thread for more options that might work. [Kibana set up windows service (6.2.1)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-set-up-windows-service-6-2-1/120183)
