Description

Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
config alertemail setting
set FDS-license-expiring-warning enable
set FDS-license-expiring-days 30

Warning logs will be generated if the expiration days left are less than or equal to the set value in the command 'FDS-license-expiring-days'.
Note:
Since v7.4.x the 'set FDS-license-expiring-days' command was move to "config system fortiguard" like below:
config system fortiguard
set FDS-license-expiring-days <integer>
set FDS-license-expiring-days <integer>
