Watcher: The triggered_time is 2 hours behind the current time

For Example:

Execution Output:

I have the same issue. It is because watcher run at UTC time and you probably are in UTC+2. That's why you have 2 hours delay.

There is no solution for the moment i think, but a case is opened to add timezone configuration to watcher : https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/34659
