This seem to be a duplicate from your other [post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/failing-to-start-issue/357735/2).

As mentioned, you are having systemd errors, you need to look in the system log for the reason why systemd cannot start your services.

Not sure where it is in Kali, but look for `/var/log/messages` or `/var/log/syslog`.

Try to start the services again and look on the system logs for fresh logs mentioned elasticsearch and kibana.
