Technical Tip: How to verify if a daily reboot is scheduled on FortiGate

1. Validate if there are any automation stitches configured to reboot the device at a scheduled time. Disable the stitch to stop the reboots.

Article: Example to schedule the reboot: Technical Tip: Using Automation Stitch to schedule restart (reboot) FortiGate.

To disable the automation stitch: 

• Go to Security Fabric -> Automation.

  Locate the specific automation stitch in the list. 

• Select the stitch to edit it.

• Toggle off the 'Enable' or 'Status' option to 'disable' the stitch.

• Save the changes to apply the new configuration.

From CLI: 

config system automation-stitch
    edit "<stitch_name>" -> Replace "<stitch_name>" with the name of the stitch.
        set status disable
    next
end

2. Verify if there are any upstream Root FortiGate configured reboots.

    

    

3. Verify if daily reboot is enabled on the FortiGate global setting. The settings can only be verified from the CLI:  

    

config system global
show full-config | grep daily-restart
end

To disable the reboot: 

config system global
    set daily-restart disable
end

In VDOM mode: 

config global

    config system global
        set daily-restart disable
    end

end 

If it is not possible to find any matching configuration, collect the system event logs with time stamps and open a Support ticket.
