Hello,

I am using Kibana and Elasticsearch 6.2.2. I have created a few aliases to do some testing. However, none of the alias names are displayed or found by Kibana when I try to "Create a new Index Pattern". I can use any of the aliases in code (like using the client APIs) and see them when I run GET \_cat/aliases in Dev Tools/Console. Is there are reason Kibana will not see alias names when I try to create to "Create a new Index Pattern" in the "Management" section?

Looks like this is an open bug:
