Hello!! Currently I am using Elasticsearch, kibana, logstash version 7.5.2. I want to enable X-pack Watcher on Elasticsearch. Can someone show me how to turn on Watcher?

Watcher requires at least a Gold [subscription](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions).

You can enable a trial license [via the API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/start-trial.html) or via Kibana (go to License Management from the screen in your first screenshot).
