Description This article describes how to create a multi-tenant collector.
Scope FortiSIEM.
Solution

Multi-tenant Collectors handle devices and logs from multiple Organizations. It must be defined under the Super/Local Organization as follows:

  • Switch to Super/Local org view.
  • Go to Setup -> Collector, add 'Collector' and save.
  • Register the collector to the super with the command :


phProvisionCollector --add <Organization-user-name> <Organization-user-password> <Supervisor-IP> <Organization-name> <Collector-name>

 

If the collector is already registered, remove it from the GUI and re-register it to the super as follows:

  1. Remove the collector from the GUI: From the global view, go to Admin -> Organization -> Edit and delete the collector from there.
  2. Remove license from collector: ssh to collector:


# rm -f /etc/opsd/.fortisiem4x0

 

  1. Add the collector in the GUI.
  2. Register collector the Super:


# phProvisionCollector --add <user> <password> <super IP or host> <organization> <collectorName>


Example:


# phProvisionCollector --add admin 'PASSWORD' supervisor.nslsec.net ManagedFirewalls collector001.nslsec.net

 

  1. Reboot:


Check that the processes are up and running:


# phstatus

 

  • Switch back to the Global view.
  •  For each Collector that will be multi-tenant, do the following: SSH to Collector and modify the following line under /opt/phoenix/config/phoenix_config.txt:

 

# vim /opt/phoenix/config/phoenix_config.txt

 

Change:


Multi_Tenant_Collectors=false

 

To:


Multi_Tenant_Collectors=true

 

  • Reboot the Collector.
  • Create Organizations as follows:
  • Log in to Super-Global Organization.
  • Go to ADMIN -> Setup -> Organizations and create an Organization.
  • Add Agent credentials for Agent registration.
  • Define the Include/Exclude IP Address ranges if devices belonging to various Organizations are going to send logs to multi-tenant Collectors.
