Hi,

I received the following error when trying to create an index pattern in Kibana. Kibana just keep showing "creating index pattern..." forever.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Kibana settings:

```auto
  ".kibana_1" : {
    "settings" : {
      "index" : {
        "number_of_shards" : "1",
        "auto_expand_replicas" : "0-1",
        "blocks" : {
          "write" : "false"
        },
        "provided_name" : ".kibana_1",
        "creation_date" : "1582906295864",
        "number_of_replicas" : "0",
        "uuid" : "94SnTJgKQnSyvg5sqqPJug",
        "version" : {
          "created" : "7010199"
         }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Kibana Version: 7.1.1

If you open the dev tools, are there any errors logged in the browser console or failed requests in the network tab?

In this screenshot, did you already press the "Create index pattern" button?

Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem. Can you check whether the Kibana server logs any errors? Is this a cloud version of Kibana? If yes, what cloud provider? The 403 error seems like there is something funky going on with permissions.

Also, I've seen you are running a pretty old version of Kibana, could you upgrade your stack?
