Dear Team,

```
Please share how to monitor kibana and Logstash from CLI .

```

## For Example:

In case of Elasticsearch it shows 200 OK,  
root@BLR-SOFT-203:~# curl -I [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)  
**HTTP/1.1 200 OK**  
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8  
Content-Length: 0

In case of Kibana,Logstash

root@BLR-SOFT-203:~# curl -I [http://localhost:5601/status](http://localhost:5601/status)  
**HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request**  
kbn-name: kibana  
kbn-version: 4.4.1  
content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8  
cache-control: no-cache  
Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 06:00:17 GMT  
Connection: keep-alive

Not only curl, is there any way to get the status 200.

Thanks  
Sreeni

KB doesn't have APIs for that at this point, they are being planned though.
