Status : "kibana is not working" but it works on browser. Why?

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I rebooted OS and kibana automatically restarted by demon.
I checked status and it says kibana is not working.

error log is as below

{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2017-02-16T01:58:20Z","tags":["status","plugin:kibana@5.1.1","info"],"pid":2513,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready","prevState":"uninitialized","prevMsg":"uninitialized"}

But kibana seems working well on browser.
What does error mean?

And how can I get status back to kibana is working?

Kibana
Version: 5.1.1

Thanks

That's why.

3

Service status says Kibana is not working but error says another instance of kibana is using 5601 port.

I don't understand why.

I installed only one kibana.

4

I'd check to make sure there isn't another process running somehow.

5

When I access 5601 port from browser, Kibana is working.

also,

lsof -i:5601

COMMAND PID   USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node    629 kibana   10u  IPv4  16752      0t0  TCP host:esmagent (LISTEN)

It's strange since Kibana is not working on status.

Is this possibly cache??

6

My question is
is it possible that kibana is working while service status says it is not working????

7

What does ps -ef|grep kibana show?

8 
[root@host ~]# ps -ef| grep kibana
kibana     630     1  0  2月16 ?      00:02:07 /usr/share/kibana/bin/../node/bin/node --no-warnings /usr/share/kibana/bin/../src/cli -c /etc/kibana/kibana.yml
root     25265 25240  0 13:11 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto kibana
[root@host ~]# 
[root@host ~]# 
[root@host ~]# service kibana status
kibana is not running
[root@host ~]#

This is what I got.

So it is running, you may want to kill that process and try again with service.

killed process but immediately other kibana process starts up.
Any file I should delete?

The problem was solved.

I'm using cent os 7 and it has both systemctl command and service command.

I used service command to start, stop and check status.
But kibana started by systemctl command.

That's why I was seeing kibana is not working when I check status by service command.

Anyways, thank you for your help.
