Hi,  
My code:

```auto
email {
    to => "za@gmail.com"
    via => 'smtp'
	address => 'smtp.gmail.com'
	from => 'john@gmail.com'
    authentication => "plain"
    username => "john@gmail.com"
	password => "john123"
	subject => 'Alert '
	body => "Test message test...."
	port => 587
	use_tls => true
    }

```

and i got this error:

```auto
Something happen while delivering an email {:exception=>#<Net::SMTPAuthenticationError: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.

```

what Username and Password should i use i dont understand!

Any help would be sincerely appreciate!  
Thanks.

The `email` output needs to connect to a SMTP server to send the e-mails, since you didn't configure the `domain` option in the output, it is connecting to `localhost`.

Since you want to send the e-mail as your gmail user, you need to use the Gmail smtp server, which I think is `smtp.gmail.com` in the `domain` option, but If I'm not wrong you will need to change somethings in your gmail account to allow that, I think you will need to crea an app password.

This is not a Logstash issue, you need to check in Gmail/Google documentation how to send e-mails using their SMTP.
