Mac Applications

Before you begin

To import Mac applications, select Main > Resources > Applications > New Application. See Endpoint Applications.

To find the value to enter for Mac applications:
  1. Locate the application you want to monitor.
  2. Right-click on the application and click Show Package Contents.
  3. Open the file info.plist in the Contents folder.
  4. Look for the key(s) CFBundleName and enter the value of the string(s) under it (for example, for “<string>Example</string>” enter “Example”).
  5. If there is no key by that name, or no info.plist file, use the process(es) name(s).

If there are multiple CFBundleName keys and/or multiple string entries below the key(s), each string value must be added separately.

Very rarely, applications will launch other processes along with the main application. These processes should be added as endpoint applications as well. To know what processes belong to an application you need to see what processes are created when opening an application, for example by using Activity Monitor.
