Kibana already started but the status is not running

Hi

Try uninstall 4.5 and use 4.6.1.

That worked

Thanks fadzhil

I also facing the same issue of kibana service with 4.4.2 version. i tried the possibilities and now started purging it and wanted to reinstall. I removed it using below command. I am not sure what's happening in the highlighted comments.

apt-get --purge autoremove kibana

Still i could see kibana when I do grep.

$$ ps -ef | grep kibana
root 24590 23216 0 10:25 pts/2 00:00:00 grep --color=auto kibana

As expected I could see below as kibana was uninstalled.

$$ service kibana status
kibana: unrecognized service

Please suggest me if kibana is removed completely from my server or not?...

Let me know if you want to see any logs.

This is only showing you the process for your grep for kibana. That's not kibana running. It's your grep.
