hi @lzukel,
What happens when you press the "check for new data" button? That should refresh the page in Kibana and give you the form to create an index pattern.

The first screenshot was taken after press the "check for new data" button
Kibana attempts to find indices, then returns to the same as first screenshot

@lzukel A couple of questions: where did you get the docker image you are using for Kibana? I did encounter an issue with a third party Docker image recently so wondering if this might be what you are using. Also, wondering if you can share the network requests that Kibana is making when you visit the create index page. That will help us to diagnose this issue.
