Hello Team,

We are trying to configure slack for sending alerts. But its throwing errors.  
Elastic Version - 6.5.4  
Our Elastic Service is deployed via Kubernetes.  
Please find the slack configuration below :

```
xpack.notification.slack:
  default_account: test_account
  account:
    test_account:
      monitoring:
        url: https://hooks.slack.com/services/T6KNDU/B01GX4S6/LAJWqk6zQdR0qC3uHCd 

```

But we are getting the below errors :

`> Suppressed: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown setting [xpack.notification.slack.account.test_account.monitoring.url] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings`

Requesting you to please help me on this. Thanks!

Regards,  
Sukesh Gupta A S

FYI 6.5 has been [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) for nearly a year now, you should really upgrade.

You should also add these settings to the keystore rather than the config file, as the config file option is deprecated. [Slack action | Elasticsearch Guide [6.5] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.5/actions-slack.html#configuring-slack) versus [Watcher Slack Action | Elasticsearch Guide [7.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/actions-slack.html#configuring-slack)
