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 All Devices view 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 All Devices view and they are applied when the check runs after that.
