Technical Tip: How to confirm if FortiClient EMS is a cloned machine

In an HA cluster environment, if both pg containers have the same machine ID, it means they were cloned; by access to /etc/machine-id can be confirm such ID in each container. It is necessary that each FortiClient EMS PG containers have a unique machine-id.

'sudo systemd-machine-id-setup' is a command used to initialize or reset the unique machine ID for a Linux system, stored in /etc/machine-id. This is commonly used after cloning a system to ensure each instance has a unique ID, which prevents conflicts with services and logs.
