Technical Tip: Automation stitch for cloud server connection and disconnection events

[nevan]

Description	This article describes how to create an automation stitch for cloud server connection and disconnection events. Also, the event can be sent to the email services through the automation action.
Scope	FortiGate, FortiGate VMx.
Solution	The cloud server connection and disconnection log ID events can be found in the FortiGate/FortiOS Document Library in the section FortiOS Log Message Reference. The connection logs are with logid 22915  and description 'LOG_ID_FDS_SRV_CON', and the disconnections are with logid 22913 and with description 'LOG_ID_FDS_SRV_DISCON'. The automation configuration is shared below. Automation Trigger (CLI): config system automation-trigger     edit "Cloud_Server_Connected"         set event-type event-log         set logid 22915     next     edit "Cloud_Server_Disconnected"         set event-type event-log         set logid 22913     next end Automation Trigger (GUI): Automation Action (CLI): config system automation-action     edit "Email_Cloud_Connected"         set action-type email         set email-to "admin@example.com"         set email-subject "FortiGate Cloud Connected"         set message "FortiGate Cloud server connected(LOG_ID 22915)."     next     edit "Email_Cloud_Disconnected"         set action-type email         set email-to "admin@example.com"         set email-subject "FortiGate Cloud Disconnected"         set message "FortiGate Cloud server disconnected (LOG_ID 22913)."     next end Automation Action (GUI): Automation Stitch (CLI): config system automation-stitch     edit "FortiGate_Cloud_Connected"         set trigger "Cloud_Server_Connected"             config actions                 edit 1                     set action "Email_Cloud_Connected"                     set required enable                 next             end     next     edit "FortiGate_Cloud_Disconnected"         set trigger "Cloud_Server_Disconnected"             config actions                 edit 1                     set action "Email_Cloud_Disconnected"                     set required enable                 next             end     next end Automation Stitch (GUI): To test the automation stitch the following commands can be executed on the CLI. CLI:  diagnose automation test <automation_stitch_name> Related article: Technical Tip: Diagnose automation stiches
