Add email connector info for Elastic Cloud #91363
Conversation
|
@nrichers I've tested in 7.11.0 and get the same error. However when creating a newly created Elastic Cloud 7.10.2 cluster the Test email functionality works fine. More information is needed to determine if this is related to Kibana or Elastic Cloud. |
@trengrj do you want me to follow up or will you? It sounds like we might need a GH issue in either the Cloud or the Kibana repo to get this started. |

Chatted with @trengrj and this will need more than a docs change to address, see https://github.com/elastic/cloud/issues/71090#issuecomment-780192553. Closing this PR as we can't merge it as is. |

There's not enough information here re: the cloud email proxy, as there is additional setup required - or at least used to be required. Specifically, I believe the email addresses being sent TO need to be whitelisted. I can't find a link in cloud for where to do this, it might be in an email that the mail proxy sends when you send to an address which isn't whitelisted. And that email is likely to land in a spam bucket - it did for me. Will need some additional text to explain this, or we'll get lots of issues reported about it not working. |

Ah cool, I didn't realize we had this documented! So I think we can add a link in the email section to that cloud doc - or we could copy it, but that doesn't seem right - I'd be happy adding this. I'm wondering if any other "from" (ie "sender") addresses would work besides |
|
This is currently blocked by PR #91760 - which means it won't be available until some 7.12 point release &| 7.13 - I'm assuming we'd want this out ASAP, so in a 7.12 point release? |
|
The fix that was blocking adding this has shipped in 7.11.2 - PR #91760 - so we should be able to test it again. In terms of the PR, we made a lot of changes to the alerting docs over the last month, so there may be a conflict after merging master. Also, the doc in the PR should include a link to the "whitelist" processing in cloud - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-watcher.html#ec-watcher-whitelist |
|
Did someone want to refresh this PR? It appears the formatting may have changed, as the way the parameters are specified is different than all the other example mail providers. It also needs a link to, or copy of, the text explaining how to allow-list email addresses when using this service. |

Thank you for testing and approving, @Leaf-Lin! I'm surprised this old PR is actually still kicking around, I'd written it off long ago. 🙂 @pmuellr looks like there is a merge conflict, will fix. Can you tell me if the rest of the PR looks good to merge, esp. the labels? I don't contribute to this repo often, so would appreciate your guidance. |

Looks like the source file for this content is different now, reworked the PR to match. Should be good to merge after the checks pass. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Per comment #91363 (comment) , we need to add a link to info describing how the whitelisting works with the cloud mail server. I think the best link is here, provided by Leaf:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-watcher.html#ec-watcher-whitelist
Other than that, LGTM! Thanks!
* Move content into new location to fix merge conflict * Add whitelisting callout

The steps are based on @trengrj's https://github.com/elastic/cloud/issues/71090#issuecomment-738383463. Note that I was not able to test these steps successfully, as I kept getting the following error:
