ELK Setup Elastic Watcher

Posted on October 27, 2015

Hi there! So Elastic has this product called Watcher. Its main purpose is checking results from queries and if they seem like trouble, the product sends notifications to the owner to warn him.

Now I followed the tutorial on how to setup a ELK setup here on digitaloceans but I can’t find anything on installing the watcher and configuring it on digitaloceans or any other place for that matter. Preferably using commands in a terminal.

Thanks :)
