I want to Uninstall Kibana and reinstall it as a service because Kibana currently shuts off aftter sometime.  
I have ELK stack but I only want to uninstall Kibana completely. How can I do that without impacting Elasticsearch and Logstash?

ES and LS have no dependencies to Kibana so I don't see how a Kibana reinstallation can possibly affect any of them.
