Installing Manager
Starting with release 6.5.0, you can install FortiSIEM Manager to monitor and manage multiple FortiSIEM instances. An
instance includes a Supervisor and optionally, Workers and Collectors. The FortiSIEM Manager needs to be installed on
a separate Virtual Machine and requires a separate license. FortiSIEM Supervisors must be on 6.5.0 or later versions.
Follow the steps in All-in-one Install to install Manager. After any Supervisor, Workers, and Collectors are installed, you
add the Supervisor instance to Manager, then Register the instance to Manager. See Registering Instances to
Manager.
