Hi.  
I'm using and ealsticsearch 2.4.1 and just started using watcher 2.4.1 (the upgrade to elastic5 is still to come).  
I found the javascript API for version 1.0.1 and found none since then. is it only possible to use this plugin writing curl scripts, or are there other alternatives?

Thanks,  
Guy

Hey @gubr123

The versions of elasticsearch and the javascript client (and it's plugins) do not align for historical reasons. I suggest giving the plugin a try and [filing an issue](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-watcher-js/issues/new) if you run into any trouble.
