Please take the time to properly write up your use-case. Are referring to multiple login attempts per user or in total or from one IP?

The next step after correctly specifying what you are after is actually not to write a watch, but to come up with a query that answers your question. Only if that is done, you can actually think about writing a watch around that.

Also check out the [examples repo](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Alerting)

Hope this helps as a start!

My use-case is if there is multiple login failed in 10minutes I should get an alerting.  
And i am putting this template, but it is giving me error.

PUT \_xpack/watcher/watch/my-watch2  
{  
"trigger" : {  
"schedule" : {  
"interval" : "10s"  
}  
},  
"input" : {  
"search" : {  
"request" : {  
"indices" : [  
"firewall"  
],  
"body": {  
"size": 1,  
"query" : {  
"bool" : {  
"must": [  
{  
"term": {  
"msg": {  
"value": "Login Failed"  
}  
}  
}  
],  
"filter" : {  
"range": {  
"@timestamp": {  
"from": "{{ctx.trigger.scheduled\_time}}||-10",  
"to": "{{ctx.trigger.triggered\_time}}"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}}  
},  
"actions" : {  
"email\_admin" : {  
"email" : {  
"to" : "abcd@abc.com",  
"subject" : "Priority : High State : Down ",  
"body": {  
"text": "login-failed-more-then-10"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}
