Watcher is a plugin for Elasticsearch that provides alerting and notification based on changes in your data (which is loaded via logs from various systems into Elasticsearch). The data can be anything either application logs or infrastructure logs or software logs or event logs. You can even design event-driven automation to self-heal the failed systems & services in production.
