Good morning everyone, currently I have managed to create alert rules and I have validated that alerts are being generated. I would like to be able to send these alerts to my email to be able to better monitor them.

Is it possible to set up an smtp server on the same elastic?

Hello,

See the documentation on the email connector here:

> **[Email connector and action | Kibana Guide \[8.4\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.4/email-action-type.html)**
>
> Kibana provides you with several options to share \*Discover\* saved searches, dashboards, \*Visualize Library\* visualizations, and \*Canvas\* workpads with others, or on a website.

This references using an external email server (not running on the same machines as elasticsearch)

It is possible, but the recommendation is to run Elasticsearch as the only service in the server.

You didn't say which license you have, but to be able to send an alert via e-mail using Kibana you need a paid license.
