To configure a watch to email reports, use the `reporting` attachment type in an `email` action. For more information, refer to {ref}/actions-email.html#configuring-email[Configuring email accounts].
For example, the following watch generates a PDF report and emails the report every hour:
[source,js]
---------------------------------------------------------
PUT _watcher/watch/error_report
{
"trigger" : {
"schedule": {
"interval": "1h"
}
},
"actions" : {
"email_admin" : { <1>
"email": {
"to": "'Recipient Name <recipient@example.com>'",
"subject": "Error Monitoring Report",
"attachments" : {
"error_report.pdf" : {
"reporting" : {
"url": "http://0.0.0.0:5601/api/reporting/generate/printablePdf?jobParams=...", <2>
"retries":40, <3>
"interval":"15s", <4>
"auth":{ <5>
"basic":{
"username":"elastic",
"password":"changeme"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
---------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
<1> Configure at least one email account to enable Watcher to send email. For more information, refer to {ref}/actions-email.html#configuring-email[Configuring email accounts].
<2> An example POST URL. You can copy and paste the URL for any report.
<3> Optional, default is `40`.
<4> Optional, default is `15s`.
<5> User credentials for a user with permission to access {kib} and the {report-features}. For more information, refer to <<secure-reporting>>.
[NOTE]
====
*Reporting* is integrated with Watcher only as an email attachment type.
The report generation URL might contain date-math expressions that cause the watch to fail with a `parse_exception`. To avoid a failed watch, remove curly braces `{` `}` from date-math expressions and URL-encode characters.
For example, `...(range:(%27@timestamp%27:(gte:now-15m%2Fd,lte:now%2Fd))))...`
For more information about configuring watches, refer to {ref}/how-watcher-works.html[How Watcher works].
