Is there any way to monitor CPU on Mac OS?

[DavidHourani]

Hello,

Is there any way to monitor CPU/ performance on a Mac OS?

Does the universal forwarder for Mac include scripts for polling cpu/ram/etc.. ?

Regards,
David

You could always develop a script that can monitor processes on a Mac, for instance by using top, and run that every X minutes and send it to your indexers and then simply use multikv to make sense out of it.

Hope that makes sense.

The Splunk-provided TA for *NIX app supports several flavors of UNIX, including Mac OS X.

Trying to monitor the performance data on MacOS and downloaded Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux 

After clicking 'save' for setting on Splunk Enterprise Web, it shows the page that says 'Safari Can't Connect to the Server 

Safari can't open the page "localhost:8000/en-US/app/Splunk_TA_nix/ta_nix_configuration" because Safari can't connect to the server "localhost".'

Please find the attached for reference

Any help would be appreicated! Thanks!
