Hi Watch id is anything which you define your watch to be identified with. It is a (string) Identifier for the watch.The following example puts a watch with `my-watch` id: `PUT _xpack/watcher/watch/` more info here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/watcher-api-put-watch.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/watcher-api-put-watch.html) Thanks Rashmi ---
