I am trying to find out if there is any type of manual or book on all of the options available with Watcher? I want to learn more about it, but there is a lack of information other than a couple of the things on the elastic.co page.

Hi Don,

Have you taken a look at our documentation?

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/watcher/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/watcher/current/index.html)

The getting started guide is a good place to start. If you'd like to see a bit more background on how it works, I did a webinar a few weeks ago as well:

[https://www.elastic.co/webinars/watcher-practical-alerting-for-elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/webinars/watcher-practical-alerting-for-elasticsearch)

Hope that helps!

Steve

Hey Steve,

Thanks for those links. I'm trying to check it out, but I'm never able to see a "watch" link after I register. Any other practical links for this video?

Hey Don,

it would help a lot if you showed us what you tried (all the curl calls) and we can try to debug your issue, if it is still there!
