Hello, I have a watcher which is working as expected if I use the email action in it. I need to know how can I use that watcher to send the alerts using the teams connector that I created in alerts and actions tab. Thank you. ---

You can if you have the correct license for that. [Elastic Support Matrix | Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix) covers that. ---

Thank you warkolm. But I am not sure what am I supposed to look for in the link you provided. I have the platinum license for elastic stack if that helps. ---

Then you should definitely reach out to your Support team to get assistance with this. We're happy to help, but support is included in that license level :0 ---

@Patr123 I think there could be a bit of a disconnect. I don't think watcher supports Teams you can see the connectors [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/actions.html#actions). Although you could probably create a custom webhook to work with teams. The new Teams connector is to be used with the Kibana alerting framework [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/alerting-getting-started.html) Teams connector [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.15/teams-action-type.html#teams-action-type) And some differences between Kibana alerting and watcher [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/alerting-getting-started.html#alerting-concepts-differences) I also agree you should reach out to support because you have that as part of your license. ---

Hello, I was able to configure this. When I do the simulation I get the expected result but when I am trying to execute it I am getting the below error: ```auto "status": "failure", "error": { "root_cause": [ { "type": "s_s_l_handshake_exception", "reason": "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target" } ], "type": "s_s_l_handshake_exception", "reason": "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target", "caused_by": { "type": "validator_exception", "reason": "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target", "caused_by": { "type": "sun_cert_path_builder_exception", "reason": "unable to find valid certification path to requested target" } } } ``` I know I need to play with ```auto xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: "" ``` Setting, but don't know what needs to go there. ---
