What it does
dt-mac-agent brings macOS health signals into Dynatrace using Bash and tools already available on the machine. It collects CPU, memory, disk, network, battery, process and application information without adding a heavyweight runtime.
A launchd daemon performs collection, while a separate watchdog checks that the agent is alive. The repository also includes a MacOS Health Center dashboard and command-line controls for inspecting the local agent.
