Unable to write index pattern! Refresh the page to get the most up to date changes for this index pattern

Elastic Stack Kibana

Hello,

I'm using Kibana 6.5.4 and sometimes I get following message through Discover:

Unable to write index pattern! Refresh the page to get the most up to date changes for this index pattern.

needless to say, I refreshed page but nevertheless, still get same message(

Please advise.

Do you have a lot of people working with that Kibana instance? When you're adding fields to the table as columns, Kibana manipulates the "popularity" of that field, so it shows up higher in the field list for you. If you add the field, and someone else has added a field after you loaded the page to their Discover table as a column, they will have touched the index pattern while you were working on it and that message will show. So if you see that after every refresh, I wonder if it could be, because there actually are working a lot of people at the same time on the same index, and thus you actually hit the situation? Or are you getting that really constantly now while working alone on your Kibana?

Cheers,
Tim

I get that message now and then, and it is very possible that someone at the same time is using Kibana as me and also very possible that popularity field which was manipulated by another user at the same time...

unfortunately I can't really know that for a fact, unless there a way to do that?
