Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to parse a condition for a watch due to incorrect data type. The system expects an object but encounters a different data type. To resolve this, ensure that the condition for the watch is correctly formatted as an object. Also, check the data type of the input and make sure it matches the expected data type. If the error persists, review the watch condition for any syntax errors or missing elements.
