Dynamic mapping error when trying to add a watchedit
If you get the Dynamic Mapping is Disabled error when you try to add a watch,
verify that the index mappings for the .watches
index are available. You can
do that by submitting the following request:
GET .watches/_mapping
If the index mappings are missing, follow these steps to restore the correct mappings:
- Stop the Elasticsearch node.
-
Add
xpack.watcher.index.rest.direct_access : true
toelasticsearch.yml
. - Restart the Elasticsearch node.
-
Delete the
.watches
index:DELETE .watches
-
Disable direct access to the
.watches
index:- Stop the Elasticsearch node.
-
Remove
xpack.watcher.index.rest.direct_access : true
fromelasticsearch.yml
. - Restart the Elasticsearch node.
Unable to send emailedit
If you get an authentication error indicating that you need to continue the sign-in process from a web browser when Watcher attempts to send email, you need to configure Gmail to Allow Less Secure Apps to access your account.
If you have two-step verification enabled for your email account, you must generate and use an App Specific password to send email from Watcher. For more information, see:
- Gmail: Sign in using App Passwords
- Outlook.com: App passwords and two-step verification
Watcher not responsiveedit
Keep in mind that there’s no built-in validation of scripts that you add to a watch. Buggy or deliberately malicious scripts can negatively impact Watcher performance. For example, if you add multiple watches with buggy script conditions in a short period of time, Watcher might be temporarily unable to process watches until the bad watches time out.
