I am new to watcher so I do a test with exemple from doc.  
I have copied/pasted the exemple [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/watcher/2.3/watching-marvel-data.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/watcher/2.3/watching-marvel-data.html) and I have an exception No such property: red for class  
If I substitute the inline code with return true; it is OK at execution time but what's wrong with exemple provided by docuementation ?

The documentation states that `red` is written in ticks, but it is not in your exception.

In addition you should make sure you use a newer version of Elasticsearch and Watcher, 2.3 is pretty old already.

If you upgrade to 5.0, watcher is part of the `x-pack` plugin.
