**Kibana version** : 6.5.4

**Elasticsearch version** : 6.5.4

**APM Server version** : 6.5.4

**APM Agent language and version** : java 1.4.0

**Browser version** : Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)

**Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version**: docker

**Fresh install or upgraded from other version?** upgrade from 6.3

**Is there anything special in your setup?** For example, are you using the Logstash or Kafka outputs? Are you using a load balancer in front of the APM Servers? Have you changed index pattern, generated custom templates, changed agent configuration etc.  
Nope, use elasticsearch output

**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**:

Did you tried to click on this button in Kibana at \<Your\_Kibana\_Domain\>/app/kibana#/home/tutorial/apm

Have you tried to go to the Kibana management page, select Kibana index patterns, and click "create index pattern" there?

Have you tried accessing the index from the console, like do a query against it? In the Index management page, do you see the index properly set up? Try also refreshing the index via the management page

Hi Eugeny,

This might be caused by a bug affecting 6.5 where the APM index pattern sometimes cannot be found if you have more than ~20 index patterns.  
This has been fixed in 6.6: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/26245](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/26245)

Can you please see how many index patterns you have listed in the Mangement section?  
Thanks!

Yes, you are right, we have more than 20 index patterns. After upgrade to 6.6.1 problem has disappeared
