Hi,
i am **using ES 5.2**
i am trying to implement watcher for some keywords ("filename" : getSSLConnectionSocketFactory.java") I used below curl but its not working out.
Can someone tell me what wrong I am doing or please share your YML.
--
curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_xpack/watcher/watch/bad\_watch?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"trigger" : {
"schedule" : { "cron" : "0 0/1 \* \* \* ?" }
},
"input" : {
"search" : {
"request" : {
"indices" : [
"logstash\*"
],
"body" : {
"query" : {
"bool" : {
"must" : {
"match": {
"methodName":"getSSLConnectionSocketFactory"
}
},
"filter" : {
"range": {
"@timestamp": {
"from": "{{ctx.trigger.scheduled\_time}}||-5m",
"to": "{{ctx.trigger.triggered\_time}}"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
},
"condition" : {
"compare" : { "ctx.payload.hits.total" : { "gt" : 0 }}
},
"actions" : {
"email\_admin" : {
"email" : {
"to" : "xxxx.xx@gmail.com",
"subject" : "404 recently encountered"
}
}
}
}
'
while doing curl to check status of watchers..
curl -XGET localhost:9200/\_xpack/watcher/watch/bad\_watch
It gives me below error --
"successful":false,"reason":"IllegalArgumentException[no account found for name: [null]]"}}}}

Hey,
can you share your cluster state, so we can see how your email accounts are configured?

Hey,
please keep in mind, that this forum does not come with any SLA guarantees. If you need those, use our official support.
If you are using gmail with two factor auth enabled, you have to create a so called unique password, there is a link in our documentation pointing to the corresponding gmail documentation. As you can see in the output, also google points to a link to debug this issue further in its output.
