Hello,
I have a number of servers being pinged by heartbeat. What I'm trying to figure out how to do is:
- "Watcher 1" run every minute - When a server has been consistently down for a minute (no monitor.status = up for any documents for one particular address in heartbeat for the past 60 seconds of documents), send an email notification, then trigger a "watcher" to evaluate again every 24 hours.
- "Watcher 2" - At the 24 hour mark, if the server has still been consistently down (no monitor.status = up for any document for that one address pinged in any of the heartbeat documents returned for that server for the past 24 hours), trigger another email.
- During this "wait 24 hour" period, suspend "Watcher 1" running every minute on the server
Is something like this doable with the watcher functionality? I've seen workflows posted before about a simple downtime notification, but not sure if the rest of this can be performed.

@devbot You definitely can do something like this with Watcher. Unfortunately I don't have a working example to share directly with you, [but there's a good corpus of information here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/watcher-ui.html#watcher-create-advanced-watch) if you haven't seen it already.
You'll also need to [configure email settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/notification-settings.html#email-notification-settings) in Watcher to do so.
