Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch’s Watcher feature encounters an unknown comparison operator in a watch condition. This could be due to a typo or use of an unsupported operator. To resolve this issue, you should first verify the syntax of your watch condition. Ensure that you’re using a valid comparison operator (like equals, not equals, less than, etc.) as per Elasticsearch’s documentation. If the syntax is correct, check if the operator is supported in your current version of Elasticsearch. Upgrading Elasticsearch might be necessary if the operator is only supported in a newer version.
