Dears all,

I'm using logstash + elasticsearch + kibana to monitor my logfiles.  
I'm trying to send html- email using a watcher but I receive always the plain text.  
Here below the configuration of my action:

"actions": {  
"email\_html": {  
"email": {  
"stateless": false,  
"to": "email@example.com",  
"from": "email@example.com",  
"subject": "Test Errors",  
"priority": "high",  
"body": "

### **Test**"  
},  
"name": "email\_html"  
}

Thaks,  
Matteo.

On first glance this looks okay. Has watched been configured to allow html on the elasticsearch side? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/actions-email.html#email-html-sanitization](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/actions-email.html#email-html-sanitization)

Dear @jbudz,

I am using Amazon AWS Elasticsearch Service and the X-Pack plugin is not available on this configuration.  
Is there a way to send html email using Kibana-Sentinl? Other solutions?

Thanks in advance.
