~Hello, I have an issue creating new Index in Kibana 6.4.0; I successfully create logs with indexes on logstash - Kibana see's the inside of those logs in Dev Tolls - but for some reason when I go to Management-\>Index Patterns -\> Create new Index - and I pick the indexes I'm looking for the circle for 'creating' is spinning forever- I've left it for 7 hours without result - I even stopped logstash when logs had only few MB - still it was spinning constantly.

Can you share your .kibana settings(GET .kibana/\_settings)? I suspect Kibana's waiting for an index refresh to happen, occasionally this can get switched off or delayed and Kibana will wait for extended periods of time on writes. ---
