Description This article describes how to create automation stitch triggers for when the FortiGuard web filter is unreachable and when they become reachable again. These can be used with an automation stitch action that will send an alert email when the stitch is triggered.
Scope FortiGate.
Solution

To configure automation stitches, see Creating automation stitches - FortiGate administration guide.

 

To configure an automation stitch that will send an alert email, see Technical Tip: Use FortiGate automation stitches for alert emails.

 

For an automation stitch that will trigger when the FortiGuard web filter is unreachable, Log ID 20119 can be used. See 20119 - LOG_ID_WEBF_STATUS_UNREACH - FortiGate 7.4.7 documentation for reference.


To create the trigger in the GUI, browse to Security Fabric -> Automation -> Trigger tab -> Create New.

Select the FortiOS Event Log, and add a name. For the event, add 'FortiGuard webfilter unreachable'.

To configure the trigger on the CLI:

 

config system automation-trigger

    edit "WebFilter-Down"

        set event-type event-log

        set logid 20119

    next

end

 

For an automation stitch that will trigger when the FortiGuard web filter is reachable again, use Log ID 20118. See

20118 - LOG_ID_WEBF_STATUS_REACH - FortiGate 7.4.7 documentation.

 

To create the trigger, browse to Security Fabric -> Automation -> Trigger tab -> Create New.

Select FortiOS Event Log and add a name. For the event, add 'FortiGuard webfilter reachable'.
