Hi,

All my custom Watcher Alerts show an error state with Execution Failing. I cannot seem to figure out why. I can simulate them fine and execute emails.

Any ideas on where to look? Cluster logs show nothing (im running 7.7)

All resolved. Turned out to be my SMTP profile setting in the Watcher JSON. Removed this and it all started to work again.
