Hi all,

I've been working on some live data, and I need to use the watcher feature to alert when the threshold of the value goes down.

When I go onto the Kibana dashboard, I can see the watcher feature

But, when I click on the watcher, I get an error like this,

Why am I not able to see the Watcher option? Can someone please help me out?

This is a bit of a bug, in that if you are running a basic license, we shouldn't show you that on the dashboard.

As the red toaster pop-down mentions, you don't have access to this under a Basic license. See [https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) for more.
