hi  
We need to pass dynamic values into the filter range query within `watcher`, using a "painless" script. something like below

```auto
"filter": [ 
 {
   "range": {
      "@timestamp": {
         "lte": "now-{{dynamicValueLte}}",
         "gte": "now-{{dynamicValueGte}}"
        }
     }
   }
 }
]

```

the aim is to execute logic for a time range dynamically based on a configuration/json  
have anyone encountered or fixed similar issue?
