**Problem:** For historical reasons, source files for the Elasticsearch Guide's security, watcher, and Logstash API docs are housed in the `x-pack/docs` directory. This can confuse new contributors who expect Elasticsearch Guide docs to be located in `docs/reference`. **Solution:** - Move the security, watcher, and Logstash API doc source files to the `docs/reference` directory - Update doc snippet tests to use security Rel: https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/208

This API allows a user to modify the settings for the Watcher internal index (`.watches`). Only a subset of settings are allowed to by modified. This includes:
|
|
|
|
- `index.auto_expand_replicas`
|
|
- `index.number_of_replicas`
|
|
|
|
An example of modifying the Watcher settings:
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT /_watcher/watch/test_watch
|
|
{
|
|
"trigger": {
|
|
"schedule": {
|
|
"hourly": {
|
|
"minute": [ 0, 5 ]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"input": {
|
|
"simple": {
|
|
"payload": {
|
|
"send": "yes"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"condition": {
|
|
"always": {}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TESTSETUP
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT /_watcher/settings
|
|
{
|
|
"index.auto_expand_replicas": "0-4"
|
|
}
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------

The configurable settings can be retrieved using the <<watcher-api-get-settings,Get Watcher index settings>> API.
