FortiSIEM - Windows Agent Host Name

Hello all,

 

When installing the Windows agent, the hostname field does not appear pre-filled in the relevant interface. Previously, this field was pre-filled. Consequently, we are unable to install the agent in bulk. Is anyone aware if this is a change or a version-related issue?

Agent version: 7.4.1 

 

Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    We have observed the same behavior as well. However, the hostname field being empty during the installation did not cause any issues with the agent installation in our case. Once the installation is completed, the agent automatically retrieves the hostname of the machine on the supervisor side and displays it correctly.

    Could you please elaborate a bit more on the issue you are experiencing?
