I want to make just a simple threshold watch that alerts if a certain field is greater than a certain value. But I want to send the alert via a webhook so the basic threshold watch is not an option. How would I set up the query/condition in an advanced watch to work as a simple threshold watch?

Hey,
if the watcher UI is not an option, you can write the watch manually using the console/dev-tools. You could create a threshold watch that is doing what you need and then use the [Put Watch API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.4/watcher-api-put-watch.html) to iterate on that using dev-tools. If you need some more inspiration check out the [examples repository](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Alerting), that contains a fair share of watches.
Hope this helps!
