Despite having used Elasticsearch for over five years, I never really used Kibana! Trying it out as a POC, and I cannot get search to work on ES 2.1.0 and Kibana 4.3.0. Installation works fine, and I get to setup a new index template. Only change to Kibana was to add localhost as the URL.

Whenever I click on Discover I get:  
Error: Unable to parse/serialize body

Not sure if it is related, but whenever selecting Settings\>Indices, ES throws an IndexNotFoundException error.  
[logstash-\*] IndexNotFoundException[no such index]

Yes, I am not using logstash. Strange but true. The .kibana index does exist in Elasticsearch, but the created index template is never used.

Eventually I want to install Sense to run queries against the index. Wish it was still a Chrome plugin!
