Add a MacOS Monitor

1. Log in to OpManager Nexus and go to Server > Server Monitors > Servers (+) > OS X.
2. Use the toggle button to install the agent as root or non root and set proxy.
   For example, to install the agent as a root user with proxy enabled, execute the following command:
   

wget https://staticdownloads.site24x7.com/server/Site24x7InstallScript.sh
bash Site24x7InstallScript.sh -automation=true -i -key=<DeviceKey> -proxy=<UserName>:<ProxyPassword>@proxyhost:<ProxyPort>

Having trouble installing the agent? Try with an alternative method. Execute the following command:

curl -LO https://staticdownloads.site24x7.com/server/Site24x7MonitoringAgent.install
bash Site24x7MonitoringAgent.install -i -automation=true  -key=<DeviceKey>

Restart the Agent

If you are restarting the agent as a root user, execute the below command:

/opt/site24x7/monagent/bin/monagent restart

For a non root user, execute the below command:

<home_dir_of_user_who_installed_the_agent>/site24x7/monagent/bin/monagent restart
