automation stitch to send output of an CLI command

[rgala]

Hello,

FortiGate with FortiOS 7.2.5.

I try to create an automation stitch that sends me output of

diagnose debug config-error-log read

command upon FortiGate start.

As described e.g. here

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.5/administration-guide/639044

I should create two actions, first for CLI command, second for sending mail with %%result%% in message body.

I used this setting:

config system automation-action
    edit "get_config_errors"
        set action-type cli-script
        set script "diagnose debug config-error-log read"
    next
    edit "send_mail_result"
        set action-type email
        set email-from "***"
        set email-to "***"
        set email-subject "command output"
        set message "%%result%%"
    next
end

# LogID 32009 = FortiGate Start
config system automation-trigger
    edit "Start"
        set event-type event-log
        set logid 32009
    next
end

config system automation-stitch
    edit "send_config_errors_upon_start"
        set trigger "Start"
        config actions
            edit 1
                set action "get_config_errors"
                set required enable
                set delay 5
            next
            edit 2
                set action "send_mail_result"
                set required enable
            next
        end
    next
end

But when I test this automation (using one time schedule) I receive e-mail (two e-mails, there are two FortiGates in HA cluster) with body "%%result%%" verbatim, there is no command output.

Any tip what is wrong?

It may be the variable:

 set email-body "%%results%%"

but I see you use:

 set email-body "%%result%%"

Thank you very much for confirming I'm half blind.

And for saving time to find the s.

By the way, it is message, not email-body (at least in 7.2.5).

The missing s (result vs results) was the only issue.
