Add a MacOS Monitor

1. Log in to Site24x7 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 eg: To install the agent as a root user with proxy enabled, execute the following command:
   bash -c "$(curl -sL https://staticdownloads.site24x7.com/server/Site24x7InstallScript.sh)" readlink -i -key=<device key> -proxy=user:password@proxyhost:proxyport

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

bash Site24x7MonitoringAgent.install -i -key=<device_key>

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
