FortiSIEM 7.2.5 Linux Agent Picking Wrong Interface (Need Fix Without Upgrade)
Hello Community, I have successfully installed the FortiSIEM Linux Agent version 7.2.5 on a production RHEL server. The installation completed without any errors and the agent is visible in the CMDB console. However, I am facing an issue with the network interface selection. Issue: The agent is automatically picking up the primary network interface (eno1) which has the IP 10.10.10.10, and this IP is being registered in the CMDB. But this interface is dedicated to our internal heartbeat monitoring service and is not the correct management IP. The correct IP of this server is 10.10.20.10 which is assigned to interface eno5np0. I need the CMDB to reflect this IP (10.10.20.10) instead of 10.10.10.10. What I have tried: I checked the installer help options and noticed that the -I flag (network interface selection) is available in version 7.3.0 and above, but it does NOT appear to be supported in version 7.2.5. When I try using -I in the install command, it just displays the help screen. Environment Details: • FortiSIEM Version: 7.2.5 • Linux Agent Version: 7.2.5.0274 • OS: RHEL (Production Server) • Primary Interface: eno1 — IP: 10.10.10.10 (used for heartbeat service) • Required Interface: eno5np0 — IP: 10.10.20.10 (management/production IP) Questions: 1. Is there any supported way in version 7.2.5 to specify which network interface the Linux Agent should use during or after installation? 2. Is editing the linux-agent-config.txt file directly a supported method to override the interface or IP? 3. Is upgrading the agent to 7.3.0 via the Supervisor the only official solution to use the -I flag? Any guidance or official documentation reference for version 7.2.5 would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
