It says, no accounts of type [email] configured. Please set up an account using the [xpack.notification.email] settings I tried adding the information but it closes.

Hi, Can you post your configuration of the email account? Our config looks like this: > ``` > xpack.notification.email.account: > exchange_account: > profile: outlook > email_defaults: > from: email@company.com > smtp: > auth: false > starttls.enable: false > host: mail.company.com > port: 25 > > ``` Best regards Wolfram ---

also make sure the information is available on all nodes (and the nodes are restarted), if you update the YAML file. Alternatively you could also use the cluster update settings API. --Alex ---
