Event log category triggers

There are six automation triggers based on event log categories:

• Anomaly logs
• IPS logs
• SSH logs
• Traffic violations
• Virus logs
• Web filter violations

When multi VDOM mode is enabled, individual VDOMs can be specified so that the trigger is only applied to those VDOMs.

config system automation-trigger
    edit <name>
        set event-type {ips-logs | anomaly-logs | virus-logs | ssh-logs | webfilter-violation | traffic-violation}
        set vdom <name>
    next
end

Example

In this example, an automation stitch is created that uses an anomaly logs trigger and an email notification action. The trigger specifies which VDOMs should be used. There is a three-second delay between the trigger and action.

To configure an automation stitch with the anomaly logs trigger in the GUI:

1. Configure the trigger:

   1. Go to Security Fabric > Automation, select the Trigger tab, and click Create New.

   2. In the Event Log Category section, click Anomaly Logs.

   3. Enter a name (anomaly-logs) and add the required VDOMs (root, vdom-nat, vdom-tp).

      

   4. Click OK.

2. Configure the action:

   1. Go to Security Fabric > Automation, select the Action tab, and click Create New.

   2. In the Notifications section, click Email and enter the following:

      Name	email_default_rep_message
      To	Enter an email address
      Subject	CSF stitch alert
      Replacement message	Enable

   3. Click OK.

3. Configure the stitch:

   1. Go to Security Fabric > Automation, select the Stitch tab, and click Create New.

   2. Enter the name, anomaly-logs-stitch.

   3. Click Add Trigger. Select anomaly-logs and click Apply.

   4. Click Add Action. Select email_default_rep_message and click Apply.

   5. Click Add delay (between the trigger and action). Enter 3 and click OK.

   6. Click OK.

To configure an automation stitch with the anomaly logs trigger in the CLI:

1. Configure the trigger:

   config system automation-trigger
       edit "anomaly-logs"
           set event-type anomaly-logs
           set vdom "root" "vdom-nat" "vdom-tp"
       next
   end

2. Configure the action:

   config system automation-action
       edit "email_default_rep_message"
           set action-type email
           set email-to "admin@fortinet.com"
           set email-subject "CSF stitch alert"
           set replacement-message enable
       next
   end

3. Configure the stitch:

   config system automation-stitch
       edit "anomaly-logs-stitch"
           set description "anomaly-logs"
           set trigger "anomaly-logs"
           config actions
               edit 1
                   set action "email_default_rep_message"
                   set delay 3
                   set required enable
               next
           end
       next
   end

Verification

Once the anomaly log is generated, the automation stitch is triggered end the email notification is sent.

To confirm that the stitch was triggered in the GUI:

1. Go to Security Fabric > Automation and select the Stitch tab.
2. Verify the Last Triggered column.

To confirm that the stitch was triggered in the CLI:

# diagnose test application autod 2
...
stitch: anomaly-logs-stitch
        destinations: all
        trigger: anomaly-logs
                type:anomaly logs

                field ids:
                        (id:6)vd=root,vdom-nat,vdom-tp

        local hit: 1 relayed to: 0 relayed from: 0
        actions:

                        delay:3 required:yes
                        subject: CSF stitch alert
