hey,

this would be pretty complicated to do in such a generic watch that monitors all your hosts. If you have a watch per host, you could simply call the [Ack Watch API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/watcher-api-ack-watch.html) yourself to silence a watch after it fires.

Hope this helps!
