Hello!

I have a question on condition in watcher. How can I make a condition for triggering a watcher in case there are no data in the logs?  
I have a watcher to send notifications if http codes 200 less than 5.  
how to make the watcher send a notification according to two conditions: if 200 codes are less than 5 and if 200 codes are not in the logs at all for a certain period of time? (there are no documents in the logs at all)

Hi @kurdit. I think you could use a script condition that accesses the watch payload similar to [this one](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/condition-script.html#accessing-watch-payload) but include an OR (`||`) operator in the script. Something like this.

```auto
{...
      "source" : "return ctx.payload.hits.total < 5 || ctx.payload.hits.total == 0",
...}

```
