Hi Experts,

i am trying to generate an email report from watcher (to send a dashboard as a pdf report with email action)

the below is my watcher

```auto
 {
  "trigger" : {
    "schedule": {
      "interval": "1h"
    }
  },
  "actions" : {
    "email_admin" : { 
      "email": {
        "to": "'Dilip<dilip ***@****.com>'",
        "subject": "Sample Report",
        "attachments" : {
          "error_report.pdf" : {
            "reporting" : {
              "url": "http://kibanahost:port/api/reporting/generate/printablePdf?.......", 
              "retries":40, 
              "interval":"15s", 
              "auth":{ 
                "basic":{
                  "username":"dilipkolli",
                  "password":" *****"
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```
