Hi Chris
This is fresh installation of Kibana 5.6.2. I had schema files from old kibana 4.5 and ES 2.3.3 which I modified accordingly for kibana 5.6.2. The fix your mentioned in the link looks like is already committed to Kibana 5.6.1
I am running kibana 5.6.2 in a docker container on top of alpine. Following are the complete logs after starting kibana
