+== Prevent watermark errors
+
+To avoid watermark errors in future, , perform one of the following actions:
+
+* If you're using {ess}, {ece}, or {eck}: Enable <<xpack-autoscaling,autoscaling>>.
+
+* Set up {kibana-ref}/kibana-alerts.html[stack monitoring alerts] on top of
+<<monitor-elasticsearch-cluster,{es} monitoring>> to be notified before
+the flood-stage watermark is reached.
