I tried to create a _metricbeat-_\* index pattern directly from Kibana, but it fails with the following error:
```
Error: Request Timeout
at http://10.99.21.222:15601/bundles/commons.bundle.js:1:315503
at step (http://10.99.21.222:15601/built_assets/dlls/vendors.bundle.dll.js:359:4015)

at fulfilled (http://10.99.21.222:15601/built_assets/dlls/vendors.bundle.dll.js:359:2669)
```
I'm using Elastic 6.7.1. Any clue about what could be the problem?
Thanks.

I tried on a fresh environment to upload dashboard and index pattern using metricbeat setup feature, but I still get several errors:
- If I try to open the index pattern management page in Kibana I get simply an empty page and the following error is traced in the console:
```auto
commons.bundle.js:1
PUT http://10.99.21.222:15601/api/saved_objects/index-pattern/metricbeat-* 408 (Request Timeout)
```
- If I try to open the Discover panel, I get an empty page, and the following errors are traced/displayed by Kibana:
```auto
Error: Request Timeout

```
```auto
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 408 (Request Timeout)
----
vendors.bundle.dll.js:316
[Violation] 'setTimeout' handler took 62ms
```
- Some panels in the dashboards fail to load due to "Request timeout".
Any idea?
Thanks.

I managed to make this work, but only with specific versions:
Elastic 6.5.3
Metricbeat: 6.7.0
It looks definitely like a **bug in the Elasticsearch index templates**...

Today I run some further tests and I opened Kibana from another PC (i.e. from a different Chrome instance) and also with all components on 6.7.1 it seems to work.
I also tried from MS Edge and it seems ok.
At this point I think it was some issue between Chrome and Kibana, resulting in a Timeout Request exception. I'd close this thread and wait to see if the same issue happens again.
Thanks
