Github user mmiklavc commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/894 Oh, I see what that is. This appears to be a neglected piece of code. ES has this but Kibana does not, for instance. The metainfo.xml allows you to add "commandScript" items that are listed in the service drop-down menu. But this is distinct from the status check which provides the green checkbox vs red exclamation appearing next to a service name in the Ambari services list. This is ES  This is Kibana  I'd like to treat this as distinct from the status check if that seems reasonable to you. I have to admit, I didn't even know the service check piece existed until now.
