Technical Tip: Automatic auto-script generation due to automation stitch

Description

This article discusses the generation of automatic scripts whenever an automation stitch is triggered.

Scope

FortiGate.

Solution

Let's consider that there is an automation stitch configured on the FortiGate to track high CPU Utilization:

config system automation-action
edit "CPU Stats"
set action-type cli-script
set minimum-interval 60
set script "get system performance status
get system performance top"
set accprofile "super_admin"
next
end

config system automation-stitch
edit "High CPU Usage Alert"
set trigger "High CPU Usage Alert"
config actions
edit 1
set action "CPU Stats"
set required enable
next
end
next
end

config system automation-trigger
edit "High CPU Usage Alert"
set trigger-type scheduled
set trigger-hour 7
set trigger-minute 30
next
end

The auto-script is empty at this moment:

FGT # show system auto-script
config system auto-script
end

Whenever the automation stitch is triggered, the automation script (show system auto-script) gets automatically generated.

As the triggered time is defined as 7:30, an automatic script got generated:

FGT # 2023-06-29 07:30:05 0: config system auto-script
2023-06-29 07:30:05 0: edit "autod.0"
2023-06-29 07:30:05 0: set script "get system performance status
2023-06-29 07:30:05 0: get system performance top"
2023-06-29 07:30:05 0: end

FGT # show system auto-script
config system auto-script
edit "autod.0"
set script "get system performance status
get system performance top"
next
end
