Technical Tip: Receive an email for a Link Monitor when Multiple Link monitor are configured in an automation stitch

When one of the link monitors goes down (LINK-MONITOR_1) three actions will be triggered, and 3 emails will be received for all the Link_Monitors.

• Automation Stitch configuration:

config system automation-stitch
    edit "LINK-MONITOR_DOWN_STITCH"
        set trigger "LINK-MONITOR_DOWN_TRIGGER"
            config actions
                edit 1
                    set action "LINK-MONITOR_DOWN_ACTION"
                    set required enable
                next
            end

• Automation Stitch Trigger and Action configuration.

config system automation-trigger
    edit "LINK-MONITOR_DOWN_TRIGGER"
        set event-type event-log
        set logid 22922
            config fields
                edit 1
                    set name "msg"
                    set value "*from 0 to 1*"
                next
            end

config system automation-action
    edit "LINK-MONITOR_DOWN_ACTION"
        set action-type email
        set email-to "test2#fortinet.com"
        set email-from "test1@fortinet.com"
        set email-subject "LINK-MONITOR DOWN"
    next
end

3 Link monitors are configured:

config system link-monitor
    edit "LINK-MONITOR_1"
        set srcintf "port1"
        set server "17.38.237.22"
        set source-ip 17.38.237.11
        set interval 3000
        set probe-timeout 30
        set failtime 2
        set recoverytime 1
        set update-policy-route disable
        set service-detection enable
    next
    edit "LINK-MONITOR_2"
        set srcintf "port2"
        set server "10.252.8.22"
        set source-ip 10.252.8.11
        set interval 2000
        set probe-timeout 20
        set failtime 1
        set recoverytime 1
        set update-policy-route disable
        set service-detection enable
    next
    edit "LINK-MONITOR_3"
        set srcintf "port3"
        set server "8.8.8.8"
        set source-ip 17.38.237.11
        set interval 2000
        set probe-timeout 20
        set failtime 1
        set recoverytime 1
        set update-policy-route disable
        set service-detection enable
    next
end

• To receive an email only for the Link Monitor that will go down, another field should be added on the automation-trigger and specify the Link Monitor name. 

config system automation-trigger
    edit "LINK-MONITOR_DOWN_TRIGGER"
        set event-type event-log
        set logid 22922
            config fields
                edit 1
                    set name "msg"
                    set value "*from 0 to 1*"
                next
                edit 2
                    set name "LINK-MONITOR_1"" <----- Link-monitor name used. This is required if there are multiple link monitors configured.
                    set value "LINK-MONITOR_1"  <-----
                next
end
