This question has been answered here in the forum before - see:

> Hello, Anyone knows if we can combine forecasts data with watchers. For example, I have created a forecast job that predicts the behavior of a product after 3 weeks. So, now I want gather these data and create a threshold alert using watchers. How can I use the data and how can I create an alert? Thank you very much in advance! Angelos
