If you look at this comment: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3709#issuecomment-349335920](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3709#issuecomment-349335920) you will see an example of how to create an index pattern in Kibana via API call. I had to adjust the URL myself to include the context root for Kibana. My current Kibana root is: [http://localhost:5601/kmz/app/kibana](http://localhost:5601/kmz/app/kibana) so I made the api call to /kmz/api... Note that the kmz portion of that URL will change every time you restart kibana.
