hi. i'm using elasticseacrh 6.4

i'm using Watcher API for pre-processing aggregation's result summary.

i need input date-type data (now()) in watcher api.

i'm looking input reference  
([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/6.4/input.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/6.4/input.html))

I want to add date-type data as 'date' property as top-level property like response's 'aggregations' property

now i'm saving aggregation result only (using watcher api's 'extract' property).

when i tried input 'now()' value to 'simple' input type, exception has been occured.

can i do this?
