Hello, My goal is to get email alerts from the Tpot . Do I need to install alerta before configure the logstash.conf to send emails ? I'm trying to follow those instructions: (gitHub) > **[Reconfigure logstash.conf ยท telekom-security/tpotce Wiki](https://github.com/telekom-security/tpotce/wiki/Reconfigure-logstash.conf)** > > ๐Ÿฏ T-Pot - The All In One Honeypot Platform ๐Ÿ. Contribute to telekom-security/tpotce development by creating an account on GitHub. and insert the Email output to logstash.conf, I'm expirincing a few difficulties: 1. where do I need to enter the Email ID and Email Password from which I want the email to send from? 2. which port do i need to use if I want to send the alerts from Gmail account? 25 ? 587? 3. should use\_tls be TRUE? 4)Do I need to do anything else beside the 5 stages in the GitHub link? Thanks!!! ---
