Technical Tip: Configure Automation stitch when WAN link-monitor status changes from alive to dead

config system link-monitor
    edit "wan-link-monitor"
        set srcintf "port1"      <----- WAN Interface.
        set server "8.8.8.8"
        set gateway-ip X.X.X.X <----- WAN Gateway.
    next

Configure the automation trigger. In the example below, the automation stitch will only trigger once the link-monitor changes status from 'Alive' to 'Dead'. It will not trigger the automation-stitch if the initial state of the link-monitor is  'Dead'.

CLI:

config system automation-trigger
    edit "WAN-Link Down"
        set event-type event-log
        set logid 22922
            config fields
                edit 1
                    set name "name"
                    set value "wan-link-monitor"   <----- Link-Monitor Name.
                next
                edit 2
                    set name "msg"
                    set value "Link Monitor changed state from alive to dead, protocol: ping."
                next
            end
    next
end

GUI:

Configure the automation Action CLI script to disable and enable the WAN port.

CLI:

config system automation-action
    edit "Disable WAN port"
        set action-type cli-script
        set script "config system interface
            edit port1
                set status down
        end"
        set accprofile "super_admin"
    next

    edit "Enable WAN port"
        set action-type cli-script
        set script "config system interface
            edit port1
                set status up
        end"
        set accprofile "super_admin"
    next
end

GUI:

Configure the Automation-Stitch:

CLI:

config system automation-stitch
    edit "Bounce_WAN"
        set trigger "WAN-Link Down"
            config actions
                edit 1
                    set action "Disable WAN port"
                    set required enable
                next
                edit 2
                    set action "Enable WAN port"
                    set delay 10
                    set required enable
                next
            end
    next
end

GUI:

Set the delay to 10s. Once the automation stitch is triggered, it will disable the interface and enable it back after 10 seconds.
