I believe the `options` setting was removed a while back. Again, look at the email plugin documentation. It tells you which settings are available to you.

But this isn't equivalent to your previous configuration. Do you have an SMTP server running on localhost? Didn't you want to use Gmail instead?

I think all the options you specified in your first post have direct equivalents in the new version of the email output so it should be easy to translate them.

I'm not sure your original configuration is correct, though. Port 465 is for SMTPS (i.e. SSL-wrapped SMTP) but you tried to enable STARTTLS which typically is used with port 25 or 587 (never 465).

I am appreciate your help.this is my original configuration:

```
input {
        file {
        path => "c:/logstash.log"
        start_position => "beginning"
        sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
        codec => multiline {
        pattern => "^%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601}"
        #negate => true
        what => "previous"
   }
        }
}
filter {
grok{
	  match => { "message" => "%{TIME:timestamp} %{LOGLEVEL:LEVEL} %{GREEDYDATA:errormsg}" }
	}
}
output {
 email {
  to => "receiver"
  address => "localhost"
  codec => "plain"
  contenttype => "text/html; charset=UTF-8"
  via => "smtp"
  port => 25
  domain => "localhost"
  from => "logstash.alert@nowhere.com"
  subject => "Test"
  use_tls => false
  }
}

```

Big thanks
