Kibana logs?

[sunilmchaudhari (Sunil Chaudhari)]

Hi,
I am running kibana4 with command sudo nohup ./kibana, which create nohup.log.
I want kibana to run in the background and logs to be created in some file /var/log/kibana.log
Please guide me how to achieve it.

thanks
Sunil

Setting up Kibana to run as a daemon isn't really different from running any other kind of program as a daemon. Exactly how to do it depends on what operating system you're using. The topic below contains instructions for CentOS. A third party has packaged it as Debian packages so if you run e.g. Debian or Ubuntu that's another avenue to explore.

Run Kibana as service on CentOS

Hi there, I am trying to get Kibana up and running on Centos. Following the instructions on the elastic site, I can successfully download the files and run in the console. But is there any guidance anywhere that helps me get this set up to run as a service for a production environment? Any help appreciated. Matt
