Issues with Deleting Collectors Because of In-Memory Processes

You may encounter issues with deleting Collectors if there are processes in memory on the Supervisor that are related to Collector status that are updated to the CMDB. If you encounter these issues, please contact FortiSIEM Support.

  1. Delete the organization.
  2. Log out of your Supervisor node.
  3. SSH into the Supervisor host machine as root.
  4. In the /data directory, delete the eventdb database for that organization.

Finding the Right EventDB Database

You can tell which EventDB belongs to the organization you want to delete based on the organization ID that you wrote down in Step 3. For example, if the organization ID is 2005, you would look for /data/eventdb/CUSTOMER_2005 as the database to delete. Be careful that you don’t delete the EventDB for a continuing organization.
