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!
