how to setting ambari to sending alert email via aws ses service

[#1]

Is there any guide or docs to refer for this purpose? Thanks in advance.

[#2]

I use ambari 2.2.1 and ambari 2.0.1.

Hi @henryon wen, I would follow these instructions for setting up email alerts in Ambari via SMTP:

http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.1.0.0/bk_Ambari_Users_Guide/content/_configuring_n...

And follow Amazon's SES instructions for sending email through their SMTP interface:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-email-smtp.html

I haven't tried this yet, but it seems straightforward. Please let me know if it works.

Setting "mail.smtp.ssl.enable : true" in ambari SMTP configurations should help in resolving your issue.
