To ensure successful connectivity when testing the FortiEDR API:

  • Use the FortiEDR server's hostname or FQDN instead of its IP address.
  • Ensure that the hostname/FQDN is resolvable from the node (supervisor or collector) performing the test.
  • '<IP> <Hostname>' entry for FortiEDR can be added to '/etc/hosts' file on the supervisor or collector for DNS resolution to work in case there is no internal DNS server.
