FortiBridge alert email
If you set the probe action on failure to alertmail, you can configure alert email so that the FortiBridge unit sends an email message to up to three email addresses if the FortiBridge unit detects a failure. The alert email informs the recipient that a FortiGate unit has failed, includes the protocol for which the failure was detected, and includes the serial number of the FortiGate unit that failed.
Only the first probe to detect a failure triggers the actions on failure. So, even if multiple probes are configured, when a failure is detected, the FortiBridge unit sends one alert email.

To configure alert email
Configuring FortiBridge alert email is similar to configuring FortiGate alert email.
1Log into the CLI.
2Configure alert email. Enter:
config alertemail setting set server mail.myorg.com
set username user@company.com set password PassWORD
set mailto1 user@company.com set mailto1 user2@company.co.uk set mailto1 user3@company.com
end
FortiBridge syslog
If you set the probe action on failure to syslog, you can configure FortiBridge syslog so that the FortiBridge unit sends a syslog message to one syslog server if the FortiBridge unit detects a failure. The message informs the recipient that a FortiGate unit has failed, includes the protocol for which the failure was detected, and includes the serial number of the FortiGate unit that failed.
Only the first probe to detect a failure triggers the actions on failure. So, even if multiple probes are configured, when a failure is detected, the FortiBridge unit sends one message.
