Mac Client 7.1.6.101 A Series Chip Support

Watchman Monitoring is happy to announce the release of agent 7.1.6.101 for macOS. 

Apple A Series Support

  • Apple A18 / A18 Pro / A19 / A19 Pro — added processor-speed and unified-memory entries (A18: 4.04 GHz / 7500 MHz, A18 Pro: 4.04 GHz / 8533 MHz, A19: 4.26 GHz / 8533 MHz, A19 Pro: 4.26 GHz / 9600 MHz).
  • Apple M5 chip family — check_cpu now reports M5/M5 Pro/M5 Max as 4.6 GHz, and check_ram reports their unified memory as LPDDR5X-9600
  • The unified-memory detection branch now recognizes Apple A-prefixed chip names alongside Apple M, so any Apple-silicon device that surfaces with an A-series identifier will report its memory configuration correctly instead of falling through to the generic path.

What’s Next

  • We have a ton of macOS agent plugin updates coming in the next week. 
  • If you have any requests for plugin fixes or new plugins that you’d like created, please let us know!

Apple Business Manager Integration Improvements

Ten days ago we connected Watchman Monitoring to Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager. Today’s dashboard update is the follow-up pass: the lists now show you every Mac instead of a sample, and the tables sort.
