Installing FortiEDR Collectors

You can install the FortiEDR Collector on any communicating device that meets the requirements in Before you start. Your license determines the number of FortiEDR Collectors allowed to register with the FortiEDR Central Manager. When you reach the maximum number of Collectors, you must uninstall a FortiEDR Collector from a device and delete it from the FortiEDR INVENTORY before you can add another FortiEDR Collector.

You can get a Collector that is customized to your environment’s settings, as described in Requesting and Obtaining a Collector Installer. If a custom Collector is used during the installation, all input fields such as Aggregator address and registration password are auto-filled.
