Chaining and delaying actions

Chaining and delaying actions

Automation stitches have the option to delay an action after the previous action is complete. Executing the next action can be delayed by up to 3600 seconds (one hour).

To configure a delay in the GUI:
  1. Go to Security Fabric > Automation and click the Action tab.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. Select an action type, and enter a value (in seconds) in the Delay field.
  4. Configure the other settings as needed.
  5. Click OK.
To configure a delay in the CLI:
config system automation-action
    edit <name>
        ...
        set delay <integer>
    next
end

set delay <integer>

Set the delay before execution, in seconds (0 - 3600, default = 0).
