Elastic Stack Logstash

I do not get any emails from logstash for the below config. Could anyone please help me what is going wrong, also please let me know where can I trace the email logs. There is no any error on running the the config file.

if "INFO" in [MessageType] {
email {
to => "mymail_id@ec.com"
from => "logstash.alert@example.com"
username => "mymail_id@ec.com"
password => "Amma@456"
port => "465"
via => "sendmail"
use_tls => true
address => "https://outlook.office365.com/mapi/emsmdb/?MailboxId=d68b1c17-86f8-4b15-9764-d110f5b6b3f1@ec.com"
body => "%{message}"

            }

    stdout { }

file{ path => "/home/TESTING/trap_testing/CONSOL/INFO.log"}

}

If there's nothing in your log perhaps the if "INFO" in [MessageType] { conditional isn't true.

port => "465"
via => "sendmail"
use_tls => true
address => "https://outlook.office365.com/mapi/emsmdb/?MailboxId=d68b1c17-86f8-4b15-9764-d110f5b6b3f1@ec.com"

The address option should contain the address of an SMTP server. Also, with via => "sendmail" the port, use_tls, and address options are ignored.

port , use_tls, and address deleted from my configuration file but i am not getting email alert to mail id. please find the modified file

if "INFO" in [MessageType] {
email {
to => "mymail_id@ec.com"
from => "logstash.alert@example.com"
username => "mymail_id@ec.com"
password => "Amma@456"
via => "sendmail"
body => "%{message}"

        }

stdout { }

file{ path => "/home/TESTING/trap_testing/CONSOL/INFO.log"}

}

Again, how do you know the conditional is true so that the email output even runs? Are you running a local MTA that accepts and sends email to the destination? If not you shouldn't use via => "sendmail".

Hi Magnusbaeck,

Check the logs of your local mail server to get clues about when the message disappears (i.e. does the message reach the mail server or not).
