Hi guys, I ve installed and run kibana 4.1.2 However I cannot configure an index pattern. Kibana cannot find any of my indices ☹ ES is up and running and kibana is properly installed. ---

Do you actually have any indexes? What's the output of `curl name-of-your-es-host:9200/_cat/indices`? ---

sure I have. Running the command I do see all my indices. Actually I am able to run kibana 3. But for some reason kibana 4 does not work for me. I am also running on mac if that may have anything to do. ---
