How to configure Watcher's mail notifications?
I can't start elasticsearch after I configure my mail account in the elasticsearch.yml file

Refer to the following address configuration
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/watcher/current/email-services.html#email-account

elasticsearch.yml config
watcher.actions.email.service.account:
    work:
        email_defaults:
            from: 'John Doe <[email protected]>'
        smtp:
            auth: true
            starttls.enable: true
            host: smtp.qq.com
            port: 587
            user: "111"
            password: "111"

I would like to ask for documentation regards the standard profile- for those who use their own SMTP servers.

Hi @aofong,

The syntax has changed since 2.4 (which is the version for the docs you linked). The new syntax can be found here

Thanks,
Chris
