Enable Monitoring in Google Chrome on macOS Endpoints
The following instructions describe the process of creating an MDM configuration profile to deploy the new Google Chrome extension for macOS endpoints using MDM settings. For illustration purposes, the instructions assume that you plan to deploy the extension using Jamf, an IT management application.
Alternatively, you can install the extension manually using the Chrome Web Store. Make sure that the Chrome Web Store URL is not blocked by your organization's network firewall.
Before you begin, make sure that you have completed the following steps:
When you download the agent installer package from the Broadcom Product Downloads portal, the package contains a ready-to-use MDM configuration file that you can use with a management application like Jamf to perform several deployment tasks simultaneously. See Sample Jamf MDM configuration file for macOS endpoints.
- Create a browser policy (.plistfile) which you can upload to Jamf.For example:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>ExtensionSettings</key> <dict> <key>egaejpfbkjamgheoingidhokbfnidlpi</key> <dict> <key>installation_mode</key> <string>force_installed</string> <key>update_url</key> <string>https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx</string> </dict> </dict> </dict> </plist>
- In Jamf, select a configuration profile.
- Navigate toApplication & Custom Settings, and then clickAdd.
- UnderCreation Method, selectUpload File (PLIST file).
- In thePreference Domainfield, typecom.google.Chrome.
- Click theUpload PLIST filebutton, and then browse to and select the.plistfile that you created in Step 1.
- ClickSave.
