Describe the bug:

When I create an index pattern in Kibana it's not saved, but there's no error given.

Steps to reproduce:

1. http://localhost:5601/app/management/kibana/indexPatterns -> Create index pattern
2. Specify index pattern name against existing ES index, click Next step
3. Select correct Time field.
4. Click Create index pattern
5. Index pattern is created, fields are listed
6. Click on Index patterns under Kibana on the sidebar. No index patterns are listed (You have data in Elasticsearch. Now, create an index pattern.). Force-refresh page. Still no index patterns listed

Expected behavior:

When I create an index pattern I expect it to be saved if successful, or an error thrown in the UI if it was unsuccessful.

Screenshots (if relevant):

kib-ix-pattern.mp4

Errors in browser console (if relevant):

Refused to execute inline script because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'unsafe-eval' 'self'". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-P5polb1UreUSOe5V/Pv7tc+yeZuJXiOi/3fqhGsU7BE='), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution.
^ A single error about an inline script not firing due to content security policy is expected!

Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant):

kib.log

Any additional context:

In the Kibana log I saw this when I went to the Index Patterns home page

{
  "type": "log",
  "@timestamp": "2021-01-07T09:05:44Z",
  "tags": [
    "error",
    "elasticsearch",
    "data"
  ],
  "pid": 8,
  "message": "[search_phase_execution_exception]: all shards failed"
}

Since this was just a test environment I tore down Kibana and Elasticsearch containers, deleted the local data volume for the containers, and brought them back up. After that … it worked fine.

Whilst it looks like there was something odd with my deployment that is now fixed, it would be nice to improve the UX so that the user is told that something's not right instead of being stuck in an endless loop of "you need to create an index pattern, ok I'll create an index pattern, you need to create an index pattern, etc."

@mattkime, looks like error handling when creating an index pattern needs improvement. I wonder if this is fixed in new index pattern management so this can be closed?
