Launch Kibana in a Java VM as a Servlet

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi,

I´d like to know whether is possible to launch Kibana inside a Java VM as a servlet (along with its servlet mapping)

For instance, I have a Spring Boot application where I can register the H2 Console Servlet:

@Bean
ServletRegistrationBean h2servletRegistration(){
ServletRegistrationBean registrationBean = new ServletRegistrationBean( new WebServlet());
registrationBean.addUrlMappings("/console/*");
return registrationBean;
}

Is there an ES equivalent to WebServlet I could instantiate in order to launch Kibana?

Thanks!

Kibana is a separate project from Elasticsearch and does not run on the JVM. It has it's own server which you can run by following these directions: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/setup.html#install

Kibana4 run on node.js and come with its own node server binary.

Thanks, I thought it was a Java application as well.
@tinle, thanks too!

Apache Karaf Decanter runs Kibana in a JVM, I saved a mental note to check this out when I get to that stage of my project, but I suspect t's Kibana 3 anyways: http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|org.apache.karaf.decanter|org.apache.karaf.decanter.kibana|1.0.0|bundle
