I am trying to install kibana using rpm **kibana-4.5.0-1.x86\_64.rpm**. However when i try to start the Kibana process, i am getting below prompt **Starting kibana....... unable to start process kibana**. To check the reason i have enabled log file by setting the below parameter in kibana.yml : **logging.dest: /opt/kibana/kibana.log** However no log file is getting created and i am unable to identify why kibana process is not starting. ---
