Description This article describes the process to increase the Increase Elastic Search Size on FortiEDR Manager after expanding or resizing the TH data disk.
Scope Applies to On prem FortiEDR environments.
Solution

Assuming that data disk on TH VM is not fully utilized or after expanding the data disk on TH VM the elastic search size needs to be reconfigured to use the full disk data, as documented in this article.

 

  1. SSH to FortiEDR Manager as the 'root' user.
  2. Run the command 'fortiedr stop'.
  3. Use any text editor to edit the /opt/FortiEDR/webapp/application-customer.properties file. For example:

 

vi /opt/FortiEDR/webapp/application-customer.properties

 

  1. Search for edr2.storageAllocatedInGb and edit the value.
  2. As best practice, use 80-90% of the total disk on TH as elastic Search. Command and screenshot for reference:

 

cat /opt/FortiEDR/webapp/application-customer.properties | grep edr2.storageAllocatedInGb

Note: Fortinet highly recommends taking a snapshot of FortiEDR Manager before making any changes.
