In my logstash output, I have set up an email output that looks like this (put it for reference, doesn't really matter):

```
# If our honeypot (called cowrie) gets someone, send me an email

if [log][file][path] =~ "cowrie.json" {
    if [message] =~ "^New connection" {
    email {
      from => 'honeypot-entries@companyname-elk.net'
      to => 'john@companyname.net'
      subject => 'Honeypot Alert'
      body => "Someone interacted with the honeypot!\nDetails: %{message}\nClick here to view the dashboard."
      domain => 'mail.company.net'
      port => 25
    }
  }
}

```

I want to set up a hyperlink so that the word `Click here` would be clickable and directed to a link (the dashboard). much like this sentence is clickable.

Is it possible to do?

Thanks ahead!

Use the htmlbody option instead of body.

Thanks for the response!

May I ask how the syntax for a link would look? Also, would a new line remain `\n`?

I have never used it, so I cannot say.
