OSX Daemon Check

Monitor the status of the selected OSX Daemon processes and receive a notification (based on the alert settings), if the processes are not in a running state.

Beginning with Mac Agent 2.3.1, OSX Daemon Checks are not automatically added during installation. If required, you add OSX Daemon Checks using the N-sight RMM Dashboard after agent installation.

For Mac Agents prior to version 2.3.1, all Daemon labels are scanned, and those that are set to always run are automatically added.

When a check is added or edited, the new settings are downloaded to the Agent the next time it communicates back to the N-sight RMM Dashboard and they are applied when the check runs after that.
