Watcher error message - filesystem ran out of space and can't recover

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

My filesystem ran out of space due to elasticsearch indexes (my fault). Elasticsearch is back up again but I can't do anything with watcher anymore. I get this error in the logs:

Does anyone have any helpful tips to get it back up and working before i re-install ES and watcher again.

red    open   .triggered_watches                1   1
yellow open   .watches                          1   1          1            2      2.8kb          2.8kb

This is unfortunate. Best way to get Watcher operational again is to delete the .triggered_watches index and wait for Watcher to start automatically or start it via the start api.
