Study Notes
Automation Stitch
- A stitch is a series of automation actions executed in a specific order to perform a specific task or set of tasks.
Execution of Automation Actions
- Automation actions can be executed in two ways: sequential execution and parallel execution.
- In sequential execution, actions are executed one after the other, and if there is a failure in any action, the remaining actions are skipped.
- In parallel execution, all actions are executed simultaneously, and if there is a failure in any action, it does not affect the other actions.
Action Parameters
- Action parameters can be used with sequential execution, allowing actions to use parameters from previous actions.
- Action parameters cannot be used with parallel execution.
Stitch Configuration
- A stitch can have multiple triggers.
- The FortiGate GUI displays a flowchart when adding multiple actions to a stitch.
- It is important to configure a delay between actions in sequential execution to prevent simultaneous execution and potential errors.
Debugging and Testing
- The command 'diagnose automation test {stitch_name}' is used to test an automation stitch.
- The command helps to identify issues with the stitch and troubleshoot problems.
FortiGate Hardware
- NP6 and CP9 hardware components can offload UTM/NGFW processing and cryptographic operations.
- NP4 and CP8 hardware components can offload traffic that does not require UTM or NGFW processing.
Parallel Path Processing (PPP)
- Parallel Path Processing (PPP) is a feature that offloads certain tasks to specialized hardware components to improve performance.
Packet Processing
- The path a packet takes in FortiGate is affected by factors such as the type of traffic and the configuration of the FortiGate device.
Automation Stitch Example
- The purpose of the 30-second delay in the automation stitch example is to demonstrate how to add a delay between actions in sequential execution.
- The purpose of the Collect_Diagnostics_Action is to collect diagnostic information during the automation stitch.
- The purpose of the Email_Diagnostics_Action is to send an email with diagnostic information during the automation stitch.
- The event log is created when an automation stitch is triggered to provide a record of the stitch's execution.
