Watcher Parse Exception Unknown Input Type Condition

[jc034240 (Jason)]

When trying to create a watch I'm receiving:
Watcher: [parse_exception] could not parse input for watch [watch name]. unknown input type [condition]

I have put the below in a JSON formatter to help ensure validity.

My Watcher:

{  
    "trigger":{  
        "schedule":{  
            "interval":"5m"
        }
    },
    "input":{  
        "search":{  
            "request":{  
                "indices":"my_index_name*",
                "body":{  
                    "query":{  
                        "bool":{  
                            "must":[  
                                {  
                                    "query_string":{"query":"fieldName:(\"1234\" OR \"5678\") AND fieldName2:*Password*"}
                                },
                                {  
                                    "range":{  
                                        "@timestamp":{  
                                            "from":"now-24h",
                                            "to":"now"
                                        }
                                    }
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        "condition":{  
            "compare":{  
                "ctx.payload.hits.total":{  
                    "gt":0
                }
            }
        },
        "actions":{  
            "reminder_email":{  
                "email":{  
                    "profile":"standard",
                    "to":[  
                        "some_guy@domain.com"
                    ],
                    "subject":"Adverse Stuff",
                    "body":{  
                        "text":"Dear {{ctx.payload.name}}, Adverse stuff may have been configured. Please investigate."
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

{ "trigger":{ "schedule":{ "interval":"5m" } }, "input":{ "search":{ "request":{ "indices":"my_index_name*", "body":{ "query":{ "bool":{ "must":[ { "query_string":{"query":"fieldName:("1234" OR "5678") AND fieldName2:Password"} }, { "range":{ "@timestamp":{ "from":"now-24h", "to":"now" } } } ] } } } } }, "condition":{ "compare":{ "ctx.payload.hits.total":{ "gt":0 } } }, "actions":{ "reminder_email":{ "email":{ "profile":"standard", "to":[ "some_guy@domain.com" ], "subject":"Adverse Stuff", "body":{ "text":"Dear {{ctx.payload.name}}, Adverse stuff may have been configured.

your JSON is not correct because your condition is inside the input .

Correct version :

{
    "trigger": {
        "schedule": {
            "interval": "5m"
        }
    },

        "search": {
            "request": {
