Sorry i am not clear,  
I am using the rollup to aggregate data from a large index.  
Therefore I have an event\_rollup index and I can search on through  
`GET event_rollup/_rollup_search`  
everything is ok.  
Now I would like to use the Watcher API to create actions based on conditions.  
But I suppose that it's not possible  
Is there a workaround ?
