@masseyke May I know if any progress on this case? We hit the same issue with version 8.12. The current documentation still has the same instructions with updating watcher settings. It is very confusing. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/how-watcher-works.html#watch-execution
@smartkathycat I'm sorry you have run into this. We have not made any progress on this yet.
Problem Description
Our documentation says that you can run watcher only on specific nodes by doing this:
However, in 8.0
.watches
became a system index so you get this error if you try that:We need to either fix this feature or remove it (its documentation anyway). A possible fix would be to add
index.routing.allocation.include.role
,index.routing.allocation.exclude.role
, andindex.routing.allocation.require.role
to the list of valid properties for the/_watcher/settings
API.
