[[listing-watches]]
=== Listing Watches
Currently there is not dedicated API for listing the stored watches. However,
since {watcher} stores its watches in the `.watches` index, you can list them
by executing a search on this index.
IMPORTANT: You can only perform read actions on the `.watches` index. You must
use the {watcher} APIs to create, update, and delete watches. If {es}
{security-features} are enabled, we recommend you only grant users
`read` privileges on the `.watches` index.
For example, the following returns the first 100 watches:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET .watches/_search
{
"size" : 100
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:my_active_watch]
