Hi Team, I have installed kibana and installed xpack on that. If I am starting the kibana as service (`sudo systemctl restart kibana.service`) the xpack menu on kibana such as monitoring, graph, machine learning, etc. But if I am starting like cd /usr/share/kibana && bin/kibana, it will show up all of them. Could you please let us know how can we get all these menu as part of service starting mode? ---

Sounds like the license can not be verified when deploying Kibana as a service. What messages are in the logs when starting Kibana? There should be license checks for x-pack applications. Do you see those? Are they successful? ---
