Troubleshooting connectors with the kbn-action
tool
editYou can run an email action via kbn-action. In this example, it is a Cloud deployment of the Elastic Stack:
$ npm -g install pmuellr/kbn-action $ export KBN_URLBASE=https://elastic:<password>@<cloud-host>.us-east-1.aws.found.io:9243 $ kbn-action ls [ { "id": "a692dc89-15b9-4a3c-9e47-9fb6872e49ce", "actionTypeId": ".email", "name": "gmail", "config": { "from": "test@gmail.com", "host": "smtp.gmail.com", "port": 465, "secure": true, "service": null }, "isPreconfigured": false, "isDeprecated": false, "referencedByCount": 0 } ]
You can then run the following test:
$ kbn-action execute a692dc89-15b9-4a3c-9e47-9fb6872e49ce '{subject: "hallo", message: "hallo!", to:["test@yahoo.com"]}' { "status": "ok", "data": { "accepted": [ "test@yahoo.com" ], "rejected": [], "envelopeTime": 100, "messageTime": 955, "messageSize": 521, "response": "250 2.0.0 OK 1593144408 r5sm8625873qtc.20 - gsmtp", "envelope": { "from": "test@gmail.com", "to": [ "test@yahoo.com" ] }, "messageId": "<cf9fec58-600f-64fb-5f66-6e55985b935d@gmail.com>" }, "actionId": "a692dc89-15b9-4a3c-9e47-9fb6872e49ce" }
