editUse the compare
condition to perform a simple comparison against a value in
the watch payload. You can use the compare
condition without enabling
dynamic scripting.

Using a compare condition
editTo use the compare
condition, you specify the value in the execution context
that you want to evaluate, a comparison operator,
and the value you want to compare against. For example, the following compare
condition returns true
if the number of the total hits in the
search result is greater than or equal to 5:
Use dot notation to reference a value in the execution context. |
|
Specify a comparison operator and the value you want to compare against. |
When comparing dates and times, you can use date math expressions
of the form <{expression}>
. For example, the following expression returns
true
if the watch was executed within the last five minutes:
{ "condition" : { "compare" : { "ctx.execution_time" : { "gte" : "<{now-5m}>" } } } }
You can also compare two values in the execution context by specifying the
compared value as a path of the form of {{path}}
. For example, the following
condition compares the ctx.payload.aggregations.status.buckets.error.doc_count
to the ctx.payload.aggregations.handled.buckets.true.doc_count
:
{ "condition" : { "compare" : { "ctx.payload.aggregations.status.buckets.error.doc_count" : { "not_eq" : "{{ctx.payload.aggregations.handled.buckets.true.doc_count}}" } } } }
Accessing values in the execution context
editYou use "dot-notation" to access values in the execution context. Values loaded
into the execution context by the input are prefixed by ctx.payload
.
You can reference entries in arrays using their zero-based array indices.
For example, to access the third element of the ctx.payload.hits.hits
array, use ctx.payload.hits.hits.2
.
