Hi,

Right now I am running kibana 3 and elasticsearch 1.3.2 for our ELK stack,  
I would like to use kibana 4 and elasticsearch 1.4.2.

Can someone please let me know how to install kibana 4 and elasticsearch  
1.4.2 as a service on linux?

I was able to run them manually but I couldn't figure how to run them as a  
service.

Thanks,

Ram

Elasticsearch has packages which will do this for you on every Linux  
distribution:

For Kibana 4 you'll need to use init.d and /sbin/service , the specifics  
are going to depend on the distribution and the tools you have installed

Thank you Itamar for your quick respone, my distribution is redhat linux  
6.x and the tools that have installed are logstash, java, elasticsearch.

Can you guide me on how to create the init file for kibana 4 or can I host  
it on apache ?

Thanks,

Ram

It's basic Linux administration stuff, see

for example (and the rest of the instructions on chkconfig). Just update

Use [GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-servicewrapper: A service wrapper on top of elasticsearch](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-servicewrapper) to run ES  
as a service under RHEL 6.

I'd actually prefer to install from repositories as they take care of

The question was about having a service under RHEL.

The Tanuki service wrapper has the advantage of guarding the JVM and  
restarts it if it exits with failure exit code, similar to Solaris SMF.

The RPM packaging in the ES repository has some peculiarities which I find  
inadequate (mixture of SUSE Linux/RHEL scripts, no RPM spec, no build from  
source, strange file locations like binaries in /usr/share, surprise sysctl  
/ ulimit calls hidden in scripts and vm.max.map.count setting instead of  
letting the superuser set persistent settings in /etc/sysctl.conf) I hope  
the Fedora team gets soon ready with the official Red Hat Linux packaging.  
Just my 2¢.
