=== Watching event data
If you are indexing event data, such as log messages, network traffic, or a web feed, you can create a watch to email notifications when certain events occur.
For example, if you index a feed of RSVPs for meetup events happening around the world, you can create a watch that alerts you to interesting events.
To index the meetup data, you can use https://www.elastic.co/products/logstash[Logstash] to ingest live data from the Meetup.com streaming API, `http://stream.meetup.com/2/rsvps`.
To ingest this data with Logstash:
. https://www.elastic.co/downloads/logstash[Download Logstash] and unpack the
archive file.
. Create a Logstash configuration file that uses the {logstash-ref}/plugins-inputs-stdin.html[Logstash standard input] and the {logstash-ref}/plugins-outputs-stdout.html[Logstash standard output] and save it in `logstash-{version}` directory as `livestream.conf`:
+

[source,ruby]
----------------------------------------------------------
input {
stdin {
codec => json <1>
}
}
filter {
date {
match => [ "event.time", "UNIX_MS" ]
target => "event_time"
}
}
output { <2>
stdout {
codec => rubydebug
}
elasticsearch {
hosts => "http://localhost:9200"
user => "elastic"
password => "x-pack-test-password"
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------
// NOTCONSOLE
<1> The meetup data is formatted in JSON.
<2> Index the meetup data into Elasticsearch.
--
. To start indexing the meetup data, pipe the RSVP stream into Logstash and specify your `livestream.conf` configuration file.
+

[source,shell]
----------------------------------------------------------
curl http://stream.meetup.com/2/rsvps | bin/logstash -f livestream.conf
----------------------------------------------------------
// NOTCONSOLE

Now that you're indexing the meetup RSVPs, you can set up a watch that lets you know about events you might be interested in. For example, let's create a watch that runs every hour, looks for events that talk about _Open Source_, and sends an email with information about the events.
To set up the watch:
. Specify how often you want to run the watch by adding a schedule trigger to the watch:
+
--
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"trigger": {
"schedule": {
"interval": "1h"
}
},
--------------------------------------------------
// NOTCONSOLE
--
. Load data into the watch payload by creating an input that searches the meetup data for events that have _Open Source_ as a topic. You can use aggregations to group the data by city, consolidate references to the same events, and sort the events by date.

<1> `logstash` is the default <<aliases,index alias>> for the {ls} indices
containing the meetup data. By default, the {ls}
<<index-lifecycle-management,{ilm} ({ilm-init})>> policy rolls this alias to a
new index when the index size reaches 50GB or becomes 30 days old. For more
information, see
{logstash-ref}/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-ilm[{ilm-init}
defaults in Logstash].
<2> Find all of the RSVPs with `Open Source` as a topic.
<3> Group the RSVPs by city.
<4> Consolidate multiple RSVPs for the same event.
<5> Sort the events so the latest events are listed first.
<6> Group the events by name.

. To determine whether or not there are any Open Source events, add a compare condition that checks the watch payload to see if there were any search hits.

. To send an email when _Open Source_ events are found, add an email action:
+

[source,js]
---------------------------------------------------
"actions": {
"email_me": {
"throttle_period": "10m",
"email": {
"from": "<from:email address>",

NOTE: To enable Watcher to send emails, you must configure an email account in `elasticsearch.yml`. For more information, see <<configuring-email>>.
The complete watch looks like this:

<1> The email body can include Mustache templates to reference data in the watch payload. By default,it will be <<email-html-sanitization,sanitized>> to block dangerous content.
<2> Replace the `from` address with the email address you configured in `elasticsearch.yml`.
<3> Replace the `to` address with your email address to receive notifications.
Now that you've created your watch, you can use the
{ref}/watcher-api-execute-watch.html[`_execute` API] to run it without waiting for the schedule to trigger execution:
[source,console]

POST _watcher/watch/meetup/_execute
