```auto "actions" : { "send_email" : { "email" : { "to" : "username@example.org", "subject" : "Watcher Notification", "body" : "{{ctx.payload.hits.total}} error logs found" } } } ``` - is your email setting right ? - is the port open ? - do you have any proxy in front ? - error logs would be helpful this is hard to tell without any error message. Any more information available. see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/actions-email.html#gmail](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/actions-email.html#gmail) what do the logs say ?

Look up Kibana email configuration. For exchange / outlook, do this: ```auto PUT /_cluster/settings { "persistent": { "xpack.notification.email.account.exchange_account": { "profile": "outlook", "email_defaults": { "from": "[YOUR_FROM_EMAIL]" }, "smtp": { "auth": [FALSE_UNLESS_YOU_ENABLE_EMAIL_AUTH], "starttls.enable": [FALSE_UNLESS_YOU_ENABLE_TLS], "host": "[YOUR_MAIL_RELAY]", "port": [YOUR_MAIL_RELAY_PORT] } } } } ``` ---
