Monitor settings for Mac OS Profile
-
The monitors settings section lets you add performance and event monitors to a Mac OS profile.
-
A monitor is a script which tracks events on a managed endpoint and generates alerts if its conditions are met.
For example, 'Alert me when a certain process is running on the device', or 'Alert me if CPU usage goes above 75% for a certain length of time'.
-
There are two types of monitor:
Predefined Monitors - A collection of monitors from Xcitium which perform a range of useful monitoring tasks. These can be used in custom profiles, but cannot be edited.
My Monitors - Custom monitors that you create. You can configure custom monitors in the 'Monitors' inventory ('Assets' > 'Configuration Templates' > 'Monitors'). See 'Manage Monitors' for more details.
-
Monitors added to the inventory can be added to a profile. You can add multiple monitors to a single profile.
