Hi,
I am the new one for ELK installation setup, Now I have completed ELK setup end to end.
for POC I have enabled platinum license for one month.
Now am trying to setup watcher email configuration, But I couldn't, getting an error and don't know where i start from.
please share if you have any document for watcher configuration.

can you please share the elasticsearch log output? That should contain an error message helping you out.
If you are using version 7.0, you need to use the keystore command to store the password, see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/7.1/actions-email.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/7.1/actions-email.html)

please take your time to properly format your log messages. This is pretty much unreadable and people will not bother taking a look. You can use markdown here for formatting. Thank you!

The above indicates a clear and initiated shutdown of elasticsearch. The exception above that is more than two minutes old and will not lead to a shutdown.
Are you unable to start elasticsearch again? If so, can you share the log output from that start? Thanks.
