Kibana 4.0.0 BETA1 - Editing and putting visualizations on dashboards results in error

[mycrEEpy]

Everytime i create a visualization, save it and enter the editing mode or put it onto a dashboard i get the following error:

Fatal Error

Deleting the kibana-int index and restarting Kibana now fixed the problem.

[mycrEEpy]

After creating some visualizations the error occurs again.

[TiNico22]

Having the same issue.
Did you used a fresh new install Kibana 4 + ES1.4 or migrate ES1.3 to 1.4 for testing Kibana 4 ?
Or did you delete some older indices ?

[mycrEEpy]

At first i created a new 1.4 Cluster with Kibana 4 and imported the shakespeare.json and got the error.
Then i tried copying the data from one of our pre 1.4 Clusters to a new 1.4 Cluster which worked for a while but after some time the error occured again.

[TiNico22]

For me, it seems that I have seen the error for the first time after tring to use a former kibana 3 dashbord (just to see if it can work ...), I was using kibana 3 in from of ES 1.4 since few days. I was also accesing, in the same browser kibana3 & 4 against the same ES 1.4.

Next time this occurs can you try deleting your index pattern and recreating it to see if that solves the problem? I think it might be related to another issue that we believe to be a race condition.

I can recreate this every time I create a visualization. I see the blue message bar indicating that the visualization has been saved - then a brief moment later (when it tries to refresh/reload the saved index?) the error message pops up.

I've tried deleting the visualization and recreating without success; I've also tried loading the saved visualization from a different browser but without success.

[mycrEEpy]

@rashidkpc deleting the index pattern and recreating it fixes the problem. i will try to reproduce the error and inform you how to do it.

[mycrEEpy]

Reproduced it but have no clue which triggers it.

Other fact:
Firefox throws the error in the fist comment but Chrome does throw an other error

After create some visualisation, the error occurs again. And old saved ones are also unavailable.

[mycrEEpy]

After only using Chrome for a while now i had no errors.
But as soon as i access Kibana 4 with Firefox the errors occur again.
I'm using Firefox Version 24.0 as only this is supported by our company.

[happy49sky]

Is it related to browser version ? Both chrome and safari don't work.

[mycrEEpy]

Now it's also happening with chrome.

[mycrEEpy]

Seems to be a duplicate of #1561 with just another error message in different browsers.

[TiNico22]

I am running FF31 esr under Linux

[spalger]

I have no doubt that this is caused by the same bug causing #1561. Closing for now.
