Hi guys,

Is it possible to set up email alert on FortiGate 30E for notification in case WAN link is down.

Thanks.

Hi, 

Yes you can configure alertmail if you are on 6.4 on above firmware version. 

Let's suppose your internal1 is your WAN interface. 

An example to trigger alert email when internal1 interface changes its state is shown below:

# config system automation-action

     edit "Network Down_email"

        set action-type email

        set email-to "xyz@gmail.com"

        set email-subject "interface"

      next

   end

# config system automation-stitch

      edit "Network Down"

         set trigger "Network Down"

         set action "Network Down_email"

      next

   end

# config system automation-trigger

      edit "Network Down"

         set event-type event-log

         set logid 20099

         config fields

             edit 1

                 set name "msg"

                 set value "Link monitor: Interface internal1 was turned down"

             next

         end

      next

   end 

Kindly refer below article for configuration

NOTE:- The log_ID plays a role to trigger an automation email to you which you can verify in System events.

For the FortiGate 30E, can an email alert be set up to notify the user if the WAN link goes down.
