Hi,
I would like to receive an email when my cluster logs an error.
How do I configure the logging.yml?

Bye,
René

You would need to setup a log4j SMTPAppender. You can find numerous
examples on line.

Weel, I tried but could not figure out exactly how to configure a
SMTPAppender.
My thoughts are not everything is implemented in ES to support the
SMTPAppender,

Maybe someone can help me out?

I haven't set up SMTP logs but have set up sentry loggers with success
(which in turn does email alerts etc.) Something like:

rootLogger: INFO, console, file, sentry

appender:
sentry:
type: net.kencochrane.sentry.SentryAppender
sentry_dsn: "<sentry_dsn>"
threshold: ERROR

Of course, you may not be interested in using sentry, but don't see why
SMTPAppender wouldn't work equally as well.

This is how I setup the configuration, but still no succes:
rootLogger: ..., email

appender:
email:
type: smtp
smtpHost: smtp.example.net
from: host@example.net
to: admin@example.net
subject: Error example.net
layout:
type: pattern
conversionPattern: .....

I tried different combinations like "host:" instead of "smtpHost", and
"type: org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender" instead of "type: smtp".

Who can help me with a working configuration?

TIA,
René
