Issue with setting up email configuration with Watcher

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am trying Watcher Beta 2 and trying to setup email account which can be used to send email notifications. For that I have selected gmail profile, and have added following things in elasticsearch.yml

watcher.actions.email.service.account:
profile: gmail
gmail:
smtp:
auth: true
starttls.enable: true
host: smtp.gmail.com
port: 587
user:
password:
But as soon as I do this and start my cluster again, I see one error and cluster does not get started.

Here is what I get in logs

Can someone help me with this ?

Hi Tanmay,

The profile needs to go under the account:

watcher.actions.email.service.account:
    gmail:
        profile: gmail
        smtp:
            auth: true
            starttls.enable: true
            host: smtp.gmail.com
            port: 587
            user: xxxxxx
            password: yyyyyy

Thanks. The error is gone.
