Fortigate Alert Problem

3 replies

I want to send an email when an interface goes down on the Fortigate firewall or when an IPsec tunnel goes down. I couldn't find any articles mentioning a trigger that would send an email for a specific interface or a specific IPsec tunnel. I have a specific interface I want to set up. How can I configure this?

Should I wait for the IPsec or interface to go down for the logid shown here?

The logid is a general message that Interface status changed.
So I believe you can just use it https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.6.4/fortios-log-message-reference/20099/20099-log-id-intf-sta-chg
