Technical Tip: How to create automation stitch triggers for FortiAPs going Offline or Online

To configure automation stitch, see the documentation: Creating automation stitches.

To configure an automation stitch that will send an alert email, see Use FortiGate automation stitches for alert emails.

For an automation stitch that will trigger on a FortiAP going offline, the Log ID 43552 can be used.

Log Reference:

43552 - LOG_ID_EVENT_WIRELESS_WTP_LEAVE

To create the trigger in the GUI, browse to Security Fabric -> Automation -> Trigger tab -> Create New.

Select the FortiOS Event Log, and add a name. For the event, add 'Physical AP leave'.

To configure the trigger on the CLI:

config system automation-trigger

    edit "AP-Offline"

        set event-type event-log

        set logid 43552

    next

end

For an automation stitch that will trigger when a FortiAP comes back online, the Log ID 43551 can be used.

43551 - LOG_ID_EVENT_WIRELESS_WTP_JOIN

To create the trigger, browse to Security Fabric -> Automation -> Trigger tab -> Create New.

        set event-type event-log

        set logid 43551

    next
