automation stitches in FortiGate

[unknown1020]

good morning friends.

According to your experience with the administration of FortiGate equipment, what type of automation points do you recommend that should be configured in a fortigate?

Hello @unknown1020 ,

It depends on your needs.

For example, you can use it to take automated backups. Or you can send notifications to MS Teams or send mail when something important happens. These are simple examples. 

If you have any thoughts about automation, you can ask without hesitation.

It depends on your requirements. It could be beneficial while your ISP link goes down. You can configure automation script to send an email for quick response

Hi

The most useful automation stitch that I used is auto reboot FortiGate on conserve mode (in HA env).

ha, you beat me to it!

Bad enough if you have to use it, but immensely helpful.
