watcher.md

Watcher provides an API for creating, managing, and testing watches which runs automatically on a schedule to query data within Elasticsearch.

Watcher checks the results of the query against predefined conditions for action such as anomalies that exceed a threshold. When appropriate, watcher sends an email, notify a 3rd-party system, and/or store query results.

A watch describes a single alert in Watcher, which can contain multiple notification actions.
