I have started two docker container:

docker-compose.yml:

```
  elasticsearch:
    container_name: elasticsearch
    restart: always
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.1.2
    environment:
      - http.host=0.0.0.0
      - transport.host=127.0.0.1
      - xpack.security.enabled=false
    volumes:
        - ./var/lib/elasticsearch/data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data:rw

  kibana:
    container_name: kibana
    restart: always
    image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana-oss:6.1.2
    environment:
      - http.host=0.0.0.0
      - transport.host=127.0.0.1
      - xpack.security.enabled=false
    ports:
      - 5601:5601

```

I have created 3 indexes in ES with Geonames data. All 3 indexes are added as index patterns in Kibana.  
So, when I in kibana Discover try to switch from default index to another, a get fatal error:

> Fatal Error

What is geonames data? Have you tried refreshing the index patterns under management -\> Index Patterns? If the problem continues to exist, I would recommend filing an issue at [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues)

Geonames: [http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/](http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/)  
Refreshing patterns does not help.  
I have created issue on github: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/16226](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/16226)
