The solution explains how track or analyze the changes made to plist files on OSX?


Answer:

The Bit9 Agent does not analyze or track plist drift/ changes out of the box. This is because it does not treat plist files as 'interesting' content.

To monitor and report changes on the plist file(s) a Custom Report rule can be added through the Bit9 Console:

- Navigate to Rules --> Software Rules --> Custom 

- Click on Add Custom Rule and fill in the rule details.

Name and Description: Free text

Status should be: Enabled

Rule Type will be: File Integrity Rule

Write Action will be: Report.

In the Path or File indicate the plist files(s) you would like to track.

You may also select toe exclude specific processes from this rule.
