Automated Cato Networks Connector Reconciliation

Every Monday, WebRun opens Cato Networks, reconciles every site and socket connector against its expected online status, logs any degraded or offline connector in Airtable, and posts a summary to Notion so network gaps get fixed before they become an outage.

In short

How do I keep track of degraded Cato Networks connectors every week?

WebRun checks every Cato Networks site and socket connector every Monday, logs any degraded or offline connector in Airtable with the site and how long it has been down, and posts a reconciliation summary to Notion. It never restarts a connector or changes configuration itself, leaving that to your network team.

  • Connector issues get reconciled weekly instead of found during an outage
  • Every site's status has a running record in Airtable
  • Resolved connectors drop off the summary automatically

Questions, answered

Does WebRun restart a connector or change network configuration?

No. WebRun only reports connector status. Restarting a socket, changing a policy, or reconfiguring a site is left for your network team to do.

How is degraded defined?

Any site or connector Cato Networks itself reports as degraded or offline for more than an hour, using its own status data.

What happens once a connector is fixed?

It checks Cato Networks' live status each Monday, so a connector back online is marked resolved in Airtable automatically.
