Kibana Watcher Requirement for 5.5.2 Version

[Shubham_Dhoot]

Hi,

I want to setup Kibana watcher on 5.5.2 version. So to implement it, we just require Platinum License or any other requirements to implement it.

Please let me know what all required to implement Kibana Watcher.

Thanks,
Shubham

Hi,
Yes, watcher can be used only after installing x-pack on 5.5 that requires a paid license (gold or platinum as it needs the capabilities of the Alerting UI). https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions
There aren't any additional requirement beside the once required when installing Kibana and ES.
