=== Dynamic Mapping Error When Trying to Add a Watch
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
GET .watches/_mapping
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
|
|
|
// TEST[setup:my_active_watch]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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` to `elasticsearch.yml`.
|
|
|
|
|
. Restart the Elasticsearch node.
|
|
|
|
|
. Delete the `.watches` index:

[source,js]
|
|

|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
DELETE .watches
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
. Disable direct access to the `.watches` index:
|
|
|
|
|
.. Stop the Elasticsearch node.
|
|
|
|
|
.. Remove `xpack.watcher.index.rest.direct_access : true` from `elasticsearch.yml`.
|
|
|
|
|
.. Restart the Elasticsearch node.

=== Unable to Send Email
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en[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:

=== {watcher} Not Responsive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
