Setting up the FortiEDR Central Manager and FortiEDR Aggregator

The same ISO file is used for installing the FortiEDR Central Manager and the FortiEDR Aggregator components. Depending on whether an organization is defined and the number of collectors in your system, you can set up one single VM to act as both the FortiEDR Central Manager and the FortiEDR Aggregator or set up a dedicated VM for each component.

• If no organization is defined and the number of Collectors does not exceed 5000, refer to Setting up the FortiEDR Central Manager and Aggregator on the Same Machine to set up one VM to act as both the FortiEDR Central Manager and the FortiEDR Aggregator.
• If organizations are defined and the number of Collectors exceeds 5000, refer to Setting up the FortiEDR Central Manager and Aggregator on different machines to set up a dedicated VM for each component.
