Hi,

Is it possible to have a watcher index data to a cluster other than its own?

For example: I have several solutions, each with its own cluster. I would like to have watchers filter some basic data (such as heartbeats) and send it to an index on a "general" cluster where, so I could have a dashboard where I can see the status of each solution.

Yes, just use the webhook action.
