What is a prerequisite for FortiSIEM Linux agent installation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

FortiSIEM Linux Agent: The FortiSIEM Linux agent is used to collect logs and performance metrics from Linux servers and send them to the FortiSIEM system.

Prerequisite for Installation: The auditd service, which is the Linux Audit Daemon, must be installed and running on the Linux server to capture and log security-related events.

auditd Service: This service collects and logs security events on Linux systems, which are essential for monitoring and analysis by FortiSIEM.

Importance of auditd: Without the auditd service, the FortiSIEM Linux agent will not be able to collect the necessary event data from the Linux server.

Reference: FortiSIEM 6.3 User Guide, Linux Agent Installation section, which lists the prerequisites and steps for installing the FortiSIEM Linux agent.

Hey, does the Linux agent come with its own built-in comedy routine? Because if not, I might have to improvise a few jokes to keep myself entertained during the installation process.

Both the web server and the audit service? Sounds like someone's trying to make this way more complicated than it needs to be. I'm just going to roll with option B and call it a day.

Wait, wait, wait... you mean I gotta set up a whole Linux agent manager server just to monitor one measly Linux box? That's overkill, if you ask me.

Well, I think it's actually both the web server and the audit service that must be installed.

C'mon, who needs a web server? I just want to plop down that Linux agent and get the job done. No frills, just pure security goodness.

I disagree, I believe the auditd service must be installed on the Linux server being monitored.

The auditd service is definitely a must-have for the FortiSIEM Linux agent. Gotta keep an eye on those sneaky hackers, am I right?
