Can someone help to get logs for Kibana ,  
I have changed the kibana yml to verbose logs true. It has only created logs folder but there are no logs there.

Could be a permissions issue. How did you install Kibana? Does Kibana have permission to write the the logs folder you've specified?

Hi

I am installing Kibana through ELK.exe installer which in return creates window services.  
I don't think there is any permission issue here in windows environment.

Thanks
