Accessing data of the watch itself

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello,

We are working on some watches and wanted to add the condition threshold in hte output of the html email. Is there a way to access data of the watch itself somehow?

For example if this is the condition:

  "condition": {
    "compare": {
      "ctx.payload.hits.total": {
        "gte": 2
      }
    }
  }

How could we access the threshold key 'ctx.payload.hits.total' and value '2' so we can use this in for example an email action?

you can use mustache to access parts of the payload like {{ctx.payload.hits.total}}

Alex,

Yes, I know that, but data from the watch itself, such as the threshold in the condition is not in the payload...

this is true. The payload represents only the input itself. If you want to do that, you could store the threshold in the metadata and use a script condition and do sth like return ctx.payload.hits.total > ctx.metadata.threshold

Alex,

Ok, I see. And can I use the values in the metadata in the condition? Then I could add

"metadata" : { "threshold" : "5" }

And refer to it in the condition?

"condition" : { "compare" : { "ctx.payload.hits.total" : { "gt" : {{ctx.metadata.threshold}} }}

just use a script condition like I did above instead of a compare and everything will work.

Alex, We were able to use the Metadata in the condition. Thanks!
