Hello All, I have installed the Kibana in ubuntu using debian installation option. Can I have one more kibana instance using the same debian installation. Both instance needs to starts automatically when machine starts, want to run as a service. ---

The RPM/DEB distributions of Kibana and ES only support one instance per server, bu default. You'd have to hack together a second init script for it but I think it's more trouble than it's worth. The easier way would be to download the tar.gz distribution from our download page, extract it in two separate folders and add them both to the init script. ---
