Need client for Mac hosts

A few years ago I built a client for a Macos server. The target server is quite a few versions of macos old so probably not what you are looking for. I just built it on my Mac laptop then bundled it all up in a tar file and copied it over and did some installation. My current laptop is an M2 so I doubt I could do it again right now.

As I recall the xymonclient-darwin script was mostly fine. There was a little entertainment with the way Apple manages it's disks these days. I've attached what looks like the changes I made as a diff.

I'm not at $work at the moment so I can't check exactly what else I did. I must have done something to get it to auto start at boot. Probably didn't keep any notes either. I'll try to have a look next time I'm there.

Also quite possible that rclient will work well. There's some fixes that I had to do recently to account for some dropped commands from rclient when talking to FreeBSD systems so that may also be relevant.

Cheers,

Brian

I would guess the script in the repository is the latest version.? I'm not a Mac user, so take that as an opinion, not a fact.? As part of the main distribution, any changes would have been rolled into that file.

    Where would I obtain a semi-current xymonclient-darwin.sh script??
    I will try to use the one I found in the latest branch on
    Sourceforge that JC has been working on, but it was last edited in
    2015.
    https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/branches/4.x-master/client/xymonclient-darwin.sh

    Does anyone have anything a little more current that they use?

    Nothing to install on the remote host, other than SSH keys.? It
    fires the appropriate xymonclient-[OS].sh script down the SSH
    connection and collects the results.? I don't know anything about
    Macs, but the xymonclient-darwin.sh script is for MacOS X so that
    might be a good starting point.

        Anyone have a modern xymon-client script or app that will run
        on Mac? I'm aware of the macport method, but that's a large
        footprint and heavy handed solution to the simple need of
        collecting performance data and uploading it to the Server.
