When Kibana is monitored using xPACK, it schedules some alerts by default ex. Cluster Status. The watch requires that the setting xpack:defaultAdminEmail be provided using UI/AdvancedSetting. Shall we specificy this as part of any Yml, instead of using UI? If yes, is it kibana.yml + what is the value of setting?

Please advice.
