Keep an eye on the status of Jamf Cloud with jamfStatus. The app will place an icon in the menu bar to reflect the current cloud status.

An alert window will be displayed as the cloud status changes. You can configure how the alert window display refreshes, either at every status check or only when the status changes.

For minor Jamf Cloud issues something similar to the following be displayed.

For major Jamf Cloud issues something similar to the following be displayed.

Access Preferences from the menu bar icon. Here you'll be able to set the following:

• Polling interval.
  
• Whether the alert window is displayed at every polling interval or only when the status changes.
  
• How the menubar icon is displayed. Minimizing will place a thin transparent icon in the menubar.
  
• Use of a LaunchAgent, to automatically start the app when logging in.
  
• Information for your specific Jamf Cloud instance. Use either a local user account or API client.
• Most notification can be viewed using an account with no permissions set in Jamf Pro. Using an account with ready-only on all objects ensure you'll see all notifications. If your cloud server does not utilize the standard HTTPS port (443) be sure to include the port you use in the URL.

There are two different menu bar icon styles to choose from. One uses colors to indicate the status and the other uses slashes.

Status	minor	major	minor	major

Notifications, if any, will appear after the next polling cycle once the information has been entered.

Status changes are logged to ~/Library/Logs/jamfStatus/jamfStatus.log. Once the log exceeds 5MB it will be zipped and a new log will be created. A maximum of 10 zipped log files are retained. Sample log data:
