NSE7 Enterprise Firewall and VDOMs Practice Question
An administrator configures FortiManager automation stitches to respond to high CPU usage on a FortiGate. The stitch should trigger a script to run diagnostics. Which THREE components are required in an automation stitch?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse 'Condition' (like a severity threshold) as a separate component, but in FortiManager automation stitches, conditions are embedded within the trigger or action, not a standalone required element.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Trigger (e.g., event type)
An automation stitch in FortiManager requires a trigger to define the event that initiates the stitch, such as a high CPU usage event. The trigger specifies the event type (e.g., 'CPU Usage High') that the FortiGate reports, which then activates the stitch. Without a trigger, the automation stitch has no starting point to respond to the condition.
