[[api-java-activate-watch]]
==== Activate Watch API
A watch can be either <<watch-active-state, active or inactive>>. This API enables
you to activate a currently inactive watch.
The status of an inactive watch is returned with the watch definition
when you call the <<api-java-get-watch, Get Watch API>>:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
GetWatchResponse getWatchResponse = watcherClient.prepareGetWatch("my-watch").get();
boolean active = getWatchResponse.getStatus().state().isActive();
assert !active;
--------------------------------------------------
You can activate the watch by executing the following API call:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
ActivateWatchResponse activateResponse = watcherClient.prepareActivateWatch("my-watch", true).get();
boolean active = activateResponse.getStatus().state().isActive();
assert active;
--------------------------------------------------
The new state of the watch is returned as part of its overall status.
