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](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/run-kibana-as-service-on-centos/23971): > > 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 ---
