Is there a way to send clear notifications on watchers that i have setup? i have created an index for watcher history but can't seem to think up a way to get clears to go out.

can you be more exact what you are referring to with "clear notifications"? Do you mean to delete the watcher history indices or something else?

Not delete anything. Let's say i have a watcher setup to trigger for metricbeat high cpu usage. Once the condition returns to normal is there a way to correlate a clear alert?

I am still not sure what a 'clear alert', but I can try to explain what I think your use-case is. You are trying to send an additional notification when a previously triggered alert is not triggered anymore. If you meant that, you would have to do that manually for now.
