I'm looking to create a filesystem monitor based off of metricbeat and [this](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Alerting/Sample%20Watches/filesystem_usage) sample watch.

I want to perform a webhook action to create tickets in our ticketing system. However, if multiple servers/filesystems return over the threshold, I want to create separate tickets for each. So essentially loop through an action for each returned document. Is there a way to accomplish this, or a good strategy to perform this task?

Thanks,  
Dave

Hey Dave,

watcher itself cannot do this currently. I think the easiest way is to send the data over to logstash using the `http` input of logstash and the `webhook` action from watcher and then do this on the logstash side, which is more flexible.
