Hi ,  
I've been trying to create index pattern using alias. Each index contains about 5-10 documents and each document has about 1000+ lines on API documentation. I get the following error

the mapping for indices differs slightly.

Can you try and increase the `server.maxPayloadBytes:` setting in kibana.yml and then create the index pattern?
