I've removed the report section, and the email sends without a problem. So there is something about this portion: `"attachments": { "error.pdf": { "reporting": { "url": "https://vccn7:5601/api/reporting/jobs/download/jj0j4zsp0zw290eb70b9g26e", "retries": 5, "interval": "15s" } } },` There are a few certs in play here. The first is for node to node elasticsearch communication, and it is all self-signed. Next is our private CA signed cert for https connections via nginx or kibana. The last is for the public https URL [metrics.xyz.com](http://metrics.xyz.com) and it is signed by a public CA (this terminates on a load balancer). I've replaced the URL inside the watcher with all 3 possiblities for the URL: kibana: [https://vccn7:5601/api/reporting/jobs/download/jj0j4zsp0zw290eb70b9g26e](https://vccn7:5601/api/reporting/jobs/download/jj0j4zsp0zw290eb70b9g26e) nginx: [https://vccn7/api/reporting/jobs/download/jj0j4zsp0zw290eb70b9g26e](https://vccn7/api/reporting/jobs/download/jj0j4zsp0zw290eb70b9g26e) LB: [https://metrics.xyz.com/api/reporting/jobs/download/jj0j4zsp0zw290eb70b9g26e](https://metrics.xyz.com/api/reporting/jobs/download/jj0j4zsp0zw290eb70b9g26e) However it's still not working. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/watcher-for-reporting-shows-an-ssl-exception-in-the-output/138048)._
