+
+## Overview
+
+Monitor macOS metrics for efficient operating system performance.
+
+The plugin uses three different methods to collect data:
+ - The function `sysctlbyname` is called to collect network, swap, loadavg, and boot time.
+ - The functtion `host_statistic` is called to collect CPU and Virtual memory data;
+ - The function `IOServiceGetMatchingServices` to collect storage information.
+
+
+This collector is only supported on the following platforms:
+
+- macOS
+
+This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration.
+
+
+### Default Behavior
+
+#### Auto-Detection
+
+This integration doesn't support auto-detection.
+
+#### Limits
+
+The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
+
+#### Performance Impact
+
+The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
+
+
+## Metrics
+
+Metrics grouped by *scope*.
+
+The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
+
+
+
+### Per macOS instance
+
+These metrics refer to hardware and network monitoring.
+
+
+This scope has no labels.

+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+No action required.
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `netdata.conf`.
+
+The file format is a modified INI syntax. The general structure is:
+
+```ini
+[section1]
+ option1 = some value
+ option2 = some other value
+
+[section2]
+ option3 = some third value
+```
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+There are three sections in the file which you can configure:
+
+- `[plugin:macos:sysctl]` - Enable or disable monitoring for network, swap, loadavg, and boot time.
+- `[plugin:macos:mach_smi]` - Enable or disable monitoring for CPU and Virtual memory.
+- `[plugin:macos:iokit]` - Enable or disable monitoring for storage device.
