Hello!

I am Jonathan Alexander Escobar, and I am reaching out as a new user of the Fortinet platform. I require assistance in setting up an alert to notify sudden power outages. Could someone please provide a detailed, step-by-step guide to configure this feature?

Thank you for your support

Sincerely,
Jonathan Alexander Escobar

There seem to be a system event:
22105 - LOG_ID_POWER_FAILURE
So, if your FGT has dual power supplies (100x or above models), I would assume the event happens when one of two power supplies loses the input power while the other is still up. Then (I think) you can use an automation stitch to generate an alert email as @Atul_S posted the link.
However, obviously if both power supplies lose power at the same time, the FGT can't do anything and if you're lucky you might be able to get the power failure even when the power is restored. Probably followed by another power event:
22104 - LOG_ID_POWER_RESTORE
at the same time at that time.

 

By the way, at that time the timestamp of the power failure log would show the time when the power was restored. Not when the power failure started. You can understand the reason.
