Hi Team, I have used the dockerization concept for ELK. And now I'm trying to configure the email account through docker-compose.yml but am getting unknown settings error. Please find the config as below, elasticsearch: image: [docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.3.2](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.3.2) environment: - cluster.name=my-cluster - xpack.security.enabled=false - "ES\_JAVA\_OPTS=-Xms10g -Xmx10g" - xpack.watcher.enabled=true - xpack.notification.email.account: gmail\_account: profile: gmail smtp: auth: true starttls.enable: true host: [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com) port: 25 [user:myemail@gmail.com](mailto:user:myemail@gmail.com) password: abcdefg Could someone please help me what went wrong over here. Thanks in advance! ---

Hi, This is not the correct way to configure watcher or any Elasticsearch configuration for that matter. Please refer to our documentation on [How to configure Elasticsearch on Docker](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html#docker-configuration-methods) ---

@ikakavas, Thanks for your response! I have gone through the some of the elastic blocks and changed my configuration. Now able to see the email action in the kibana. Configuration as below. - xpack.notification.email.account.smtp.auth=true - xpack.notification.email.account.smtp.starttls.enable=true - [xpack.notification.email.account.smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com](http://xpack.notification.email.account.smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com) - xpack.notification.email.account.smtp.port=25 - xpack.notification.email.account.smtp.user= [myemail@gmail.com](mailto:myemail@gmail.com) - xpack.notification.email.account.smtp.password=asdfgvf But still, am facing some issue in triggering an email from kibana:pensive:😩 Also, my account was enabled with two-step verification. As mentioned in the document, now am trying to use the App Password to send email from Watcher. Error message in below.

> Caused by: com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com), 587; timeout 120000 Looks like things inside your container cannot connect to `smtp.gmail.com`. You should look into your architecture and network connectivity, this seems to be a non Elasticsearch specific issue. ---

Thanks, @ikakavas, Then I will try to enable SMTP service inside my docker container. ---
