The status of an inactive watch is returned with the watch definition when you
call the <<watcher-api-get-watch,get watch API>>:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET _watcher/watch/my_watch
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:my_inactive_watch]
[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"found": true,
"_id": "my_watch",
"_seq_no": 0,
"_primary_term": 1,
"_version": 1,
"status": {
"state" : {
"active" : false,
"timestamp" : "2015-08-20T12:21:32.734Z"
},
"actions": ...,
"version": 1
},
"watch": ...
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/2015-08-20T12:21:32.734Z/$body.status.state.timestamp/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"actions": \.\.\./"actions": "$body.status.actions"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"watch": \.\.\./"watch": "$body.watch"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"version": 1/"version": $body.status.version/]
You can activate the watch by executing the following API call:
[source,console]

// TEST[setup:my_inactive_watch]
The new state of the watch is returned as part of its overall status:

"state" : {
"active" : true,
"timestamp" : "2015-09-04T08:39:46.816Z"
},
"actions": ...,
