    Hi,

     

    Good day!!. is there any way to  monitor MAC OS systems ( Basic monitoring like CPU, memory..) in Nimsoft.

     

    I found something can be done via rsp probe +lua scripts editor, but not have clear idea.

     

    please suggest.

    The rsp probe can monitor remote systems, that is correct.  However, it requires a template to be able to know how to extract the information from the target machine. 

     

    The documentation for the RSP probe is found here:

    https://docops.ca.com/ca-unified-infrastructure-management-probes/ga/en/alphabetical-probe-articles/rsp-remote-system-probe

     

    Out of the box, the probe does not support MAC OS. It might be possible to add this but you would need to add entries to the OS.lua and the Lua function mapping. We have  some hints on this in the older documentation, found here:

    http://docs.nimsoft.com/prodhelp/en_US/Probes/Catalog/rsp/2.3/rsp.pdf 

    Page 103

     

    However,  Tech Support cannot assist you with this configuration, and I am not sure if this was ever done successfully. It would be better to add this as an idea to have this added to the rsp probe.

     

    Kind Regards,
