Description This article describes how to stop high availability (HA) secondary unit sending daily local report automatically.
Scope FortiGate v7.4.
Solution

Weekly local report settings can be found in the configuration file as shown in the example below:

 

config report layout
    edit "default"
        set title "FortiGate System Analysis Report"
        set style-theme "default-report"
        set options include-table-of-content view-chart-as-heading
        set schedule-type weekly  <-----
        set day Monday
        set time 08:00

 

config system automation-trigger

    edit "Weekly Trigger"
        set trigger-type scheduled
        set trigger-frequency weekly 
<-----
        set trigger-weekday tuesday
        set trigger-hour 10
    next

 

The false trigger of the daily report from the secondary unit can be observed especially in firmware v7.4 even if it is not configured as 'daily':

If the unit is running in Active-Passive mode, it can be resolved by login from primary to secondary unit using commands as shown in this KB article: Technical Tip: How to access secondary unit of HA cluster via CLI

 

Reboot the unit using the command 'execute reboot', enter, and then press 'y', it does not require downtime since it is a passive unit.
