i get error ☹ for enabling kibana service on centos7 -  
[root@logstashserver bin]# systemctl enable kibana  
The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled  
using systemctl.  
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:

1. A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's  
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2. A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has  
a requirement dependency on it.
3. A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,  
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).

kibana.service file-

[Service]  
ExecStart=/usr/local/kibana/bin/kibana

[Install]  
Wantedby=multi-user.target

We don't currently provide a startup script for KB, so you may want to ask the author, sorry.
