Hello.

I set up Kibana, Logstash and ES using docker-compose. Everything's working fine except that on the "Configure an index pattern" page Kibana can't find the logstash-\* indices. I looked at Kibana logs and noticed that it does this:

```
GET /elasticsearch/logstash-*/_mapping/field/*?_=1495837868624&ignore_unavailable=false&allow_no_indices=false&include_defaults=true 404 93ms - 9.0B

```

But gets a 404 because it prefixed the url path with /elasticsearch.

However, the indices do exist on this path:

```
curl -u elastic 'localhost:9200/logstash-*/_mapping/field/*'

```

I got this in response:

```
{"logstash-2017.05.26":{"mappings":{"log":{"_ttl":{"full_name":"_ttl","mapping":{}},"stream.keyword":{"full_name":"stream.keyword","mapping":{"keyword":{"type":"keyword"}}}, (...)

```

The existing indices:

```
curl -u elastic:changeme 'localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v'
health status index uuid pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size

```

Is there anything I can do to fix that? I'm using version 5.4.0 of Kibana, Logstash and ElasticSearch

Thanks!

The prefix of `elasticsearch` you see is actually the Kibana proxy to Elasticsearch, so it can be omitted. To reproduce this request make sure you are preforming it against Kibana, for example: `localhost:5601/elasticsearch/logstash-*/_mapping/field/*`.

Is there anything in the elasticsearch logs when you're attempting to add the index pattern?

What do you get when making this request at Kibana? `localhost:5601/elasticsearch/_cat/indices`
