Mac monitoring built for MSPs and IT Pros, not bolted on
Watchman Monitoring has watched Mac fleets since 2010 — backups, encryption, hardware health, and the checks your RMM treats as an afterthought. Signal, not noise.
Deep macOS Coverage
100+ automated checks — not a generic agent with Mac features turned off.
Trusted since 2010
Born in the Mac admin community; still the monitoring layer many MSPs install first.
Works alongside your MDM
Addigy, Mosyle, Jamf, and your Windows RMM — complement, not replacement.
What we monitor on Mac
Over 100 automated checks built for macOS: Backups, encryption, hardware health, and the issues your RMM treats as an afterthought.
Hardware Health
SMART status, RAM, storage, battery cycles and health, temperature, Apple Silicon and Intel.
OS Stability
Kernel panics, unexpected reboots, macOS version drift, and update status.
Backup Monitoring
Time Machine, CrashPlan, Carbon Copy Cloner, Backblaze, Retrospect, and more.
Security & Encryption
FileVault, antivirus status, SentinelOne, and other security tools common in Mac environments.
Performance & Disk
Low disk space, startup items, process health, and network errors.
Patch & Config Management
Munki, software update status, and MDM-adjacent visibility where your stack has blind spots.
Expiration Tracking
Automatically discover and report upcoming software license and service expirations.
Contact Menu
Give users a menu bar shortcut to remote support, helpdesk, or custom resources.
Beacon Reporting
Know when key endpoints go offline too long with customizable heartbeat alerts.
Catch issues before they escalate
A silently failed Time Machine backup ends client relationships. Watchman surfaces failed backups, dying disks, and encryption gaps early – with tuned alerting that does not flood your PSA.
Hardware health: SMART status, disk I/O errors, failing sectors, RAM anomalies, battery cycles/health, temperature concerns.
Storage & filesystems: Low-disk thresholds, false mounts, boot volume changes, external drive state.
OS stability: Kernel panics, unexpected reboots, failed POST, crash patterns.
Performance indicators: Free space, runaway processes, startup items, uptime and check-in cadence.
Networks: Excessive link errors, IP changes—helps isolate flaky cables, switches, or ISP issues.
Cut through alert fatigue
Too many tools overwhelm teams with constant notifications. Watchman highlights what matters.
Focused alerts: Opinionated defaults reduce noise from transient or redundant conditions.
Suppression & deduping: Prevents alert storms and repeat tickets for the same underlying issue.
Configurable thresholds: Tune per-environment (e.g., disk % free, backup recency, battery cycle counts).
Clear reporting: Concise event context so technicians know what to do next.
Group Reports & Communication
Keep clients and stakeholders informed without adding work for your team. Watchman Monitoring automatically generates clear, styled reports that summarize system health across groups of endpoints. Share them on a schedule to reduce inbound support questions, demonstrate value, and build trust with proactive communication.
Alongside your Mac stack
Watchman Monitoring sits next to your MDM and RMM — read-only checks, no rip-and-replace. Deploy alongside Addigy, Mosyle, or Jamf while your Windows RMM handles what it already handles. Ticketing integrations, webhooks, and the rebrandable Contact Menu keep monitoring inside your workflow, not in another pane of glass.
