Hi,

I'm trying do a watcher that examines a array with a certain value, which in turn is in another vector.

It will be, compare "dp\_avg.value" with "dp\_actual.buckets.key".  
"buckets" : [  
{  
"doc\_count" : 4,  
"dp\_avg" : {  
"value" : 52.25  
},  
"key" : "Motor1",  
"dp\_actual" : {  
"doc\_count\_error\_upper\_bound" : 0,  
"sum\_other\_doc\_count" : 0,  
"buckets" : [  
{  
"doc\_count" : 2,  
"key" : 40  
},  
{  
"doc\_count" : 1,  
"key" : 50  
},  
{  
"doc\_count" : 1,  
"key" : 60  
}  
]  
}  
}

The problem is that I don't know check all array, only I can access to first element.

"condition":{  
"array\_compare":{  
"ctx.payload.aggregations.datapoint.buckets.0.dp\_actual.buckets":{  
"path": "key",  
"gte":{  
"value": "{{ctx.payload.aggregations.datapoint.buckets.0.dp\_avg.value}}"  
}  
}  
}  
}

How could I evaluate all array?

you should go with a `script` condition instead, as this is not supported in the `array_compare` condition.
