I don't think Splunk exposes any controls on the KV store - other than status:

./splunk show kvstore-status

I'd start with the logs and see if there are any clues as to why it stopped, and then restart Splunk, which (if there are no problems) should start up the KV

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!
