iStatServerAgent
iStatServerAgent is a background daemon component of the iStat Menus system-monitoring suite from Bjango. It runs continuously on a Mac to collect real-time system metrics — CPU, memory, disk, network, temperature, fan speed and power usage — and makes this data available to the iStat Menus front-end application and other monitoring tools on the same or other connected Macs. The agent is typically installed and updated as part of the iStat Menus bundle rather than separately.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestioniStatServerAgent is a helper daemon component that ships as part of iStat Menus and cannot be updated separately. To ensure you have a native Apple Silicon build of the agent, you must update the parent iStat Menus application itself. Check the developer's website (bjango.com) or your iStat Menus app (Help → Check for Updates) to confirm you are running the latest version, which includes a native build of the agent. If iStat Menus is still running an older Intel-only build, updating to the latest release will replace iStatServerAgent with its native counterpart. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), ensure you update iStat Menus well before that date to avoid losing system monitoring when Rosetta is discontinued.
