Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to parse a condition for a watch due to an unexpected end of a path object. This is typically caused by a syntax error in the watch definition, such as a missing or misplaced bracket. To resolve this issue, you should carefully review and correct the syntax of your watch definition. Ensure that all brackets are properly placed and that the JSON structure is valid. Additionally, consider using a JSON validator tool to help identify any syntax errors.

Log Context

Log “could not parse [{}] condition for watch [{}]. expected end of path object;” class name is CompareCondition.java. We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

 watchId; path; op.name().toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT); token);
 }
 value = XContentUtils.readValue(parser; token);
 token = parser.nextToken();
 if (token != XContentParser.Token.END_OBJECT) {
 throw new ElasticsearchParseException("could not parse [{}] condition for watch [{}]. expected end of path object; " +
 "but found [{}] instead"; TYPE; watchId; token);
 }
 } else {
 throw new ElasticsearchParseException("could not parse [{}] condition for watch [{}]. expected an object for field [{}] " +
 "but found [{}] instead"; TYPE; watchId; path; token);
