ES Version: 6.6.0  
Kibana Version: 6.6.0

I have several indexes running without issues but when i try to create an index pattern in Kibana for an index that has a large(over 1000) field count, it fails. I have put kibana and ES in debug for logging but i they haven't produced any errors.

```
vsphere-clusters-index | 24 fields | Index pattern creation success
vsphere-hosts-index | 1823 fields | Index pattern creation fails
vsphere-vcenters-index | 1404 fields | Index pattern creation fails

```

**vsphere-hosts-index settings**

**Some things i have tried:**  
Changed the server.maxPayloadBytes in kibana.yml to 10MB  
Changed the elasticsearch.requestTimeout to 10 minutes  
Deleted and recreated the indexes  
Deleted and recreated/restart kibana index

Anyone run into this issue before?

Hi, could you capture the response of the failed request via the Network tab in Chrome dev tools?

I think this may warrant opening a Github issue: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues)
