I have created an Advanced Watcher Script to trigger an action if the specific index does not receive data for the last 60 minutes. Script is working fine and alarms are getting triggered when the index does not receive any data in the last 60 minutes and able to view the alarms in Kibana UI.

Created an advanced watcher script with action type as log.

Please let me know whether i can see these alarms or log files in back-end server.

Instead of viewing the alarms in Kibana, is there an way to view these alarms in back end (server).

There is an index created called `.watcher-history*` which contains all the watch events. You can access that using the regular Elasticsearch APIs
