Hello,
My Kibana was working fine for months and it stopped working without apparently reason.
When I restart the service using "sudo service kibana start", it stops after few seconds.
1. I've checked the storage and memory of host and they are ok.
2. The /var/log/kibana.stdout and /var/log/kibana.stderr are empty (could be the logs anywhere else?).
3. Kibana Version: 6.2.3
4. Elastic service is active
Any idea why its stopping or any troubleshooting reference to help me?
Thank you very much
Ps: some lines of the /var/log/kibana.log (i think it doesn't show the problem)

You may want to configure the `logging.dest` and `logging.verbose` parameters in your `kibana.yml` file. This will write debug logs to the file location you choose. It may give you additional details on why Kibana is stopping. For more info, see the [Configuring Kibana documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.2/settings.html#logging-dest).
Let me know if you still need help.

Thank you @nickpeihl
It seems a problem with a sentinl plugin.
