I just got my ELK stack with X-Pack setup. For the most part it seems to be working great. I am seeing a lot of warnings in my logs, about unable to find a watch in the watch store, but I haven't tried to set any watches up yet, so I'm not sure why it's looking for one. THe message is:  
[UsbjaLg] unable to find watch [6YB4ekxHTVqn9dW-NCcXcg\_kibana\_version\_mismatch] in the watch store, perhaps it has been deleted.

I tried using curl to remove it the watch, but both Get and Delete to the \_xpack/watcher/watch/6YB4ekxHTVqn9dw-NCcXg\_elasticsearch\_cluser\_status url return found:false. Any other steps I can take to stop this warning?

Can you [stop](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/watcher-api-stop.html) and [start](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/watcher-api-start.html) watcher again, and see if that message still occurs?

Also, any more messages in the logfile of the master node?

Thanks!

Stopping and Restarting the watcher fixed it. Thanks!
