Updating the Collector Version

The Update Collector Version feature is used to update a FortiEDR version, such as from version 3.1.0 to 3.1.1. To update a FortiEDR revision, use the Automatic Updates feature described on Automatic Collector Updates.

When you click the Update Collectors button in the Licensing window, the Update Collector Version window displays. This window lists all available Collector Groups. The Windows Version, MacOS Version and Linux Version columns indicate the current FortiEDR version for the Collectors in a Collector Group.

You can update the version for the Collectors in a Collector Group for each operating system.

Note that if the Automatic Updates checkbox is checked in the Tools window, then the Update Collector Version window does not display the revision number in the Windows Version, MacOS Version and Linux Version columns, as the revision is automatically updated with the Automatic Updates feature.

To update the version for the Collectors in a Collector Group:

1. Check the checkbox of the Collector Group(s) whose Collectors you want to update. You can select more than one Collector Group.
2. Select the checkbox of the operating system(s) to update and in its adjacent dropdown list, select the FortiEDR version for the Collectors in the designated Collector Group. You can select more than one operating system.

   

3. Click Update. FortiEDR gradually updates all the Collectors in the Collector Group(s) to the required version for the specified operating system(s), and displays the following window:

   

4. Click OK.
