Hi,

Last day, my Kibana got crashed and below is the trace;

```

```

What could be the reason and how can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Thanks in advance.

What OS is Kibana running on?

If Linux, is it running as a service (from .deb or .rpm install) or did you use the .tar.gz archive?

Are you using X-Pack or any other plugins?

How long ago did you install, and when did the problems start?

Thanks,  
Lee
