He was having trouble getting it to work with Jamf Composer even though a couple of us agreed that in theory his method should be working. While admins are able to easily register DTXS after installation using management tools, in my.
This week I began rolling out DetectX Swift (DTXS) with a Management License across our fleet. I first learned of DTXS earlier this year thanks to Zack McCauley and his DetectX Module for MunkiReport.
McCauley covers one option for automatic scans in his excellent Deploying DetectX Swift with Munki article using Outset and a boot-every script. He also helpfully included a sample LaunchDaemon in the module repo, however neither scans as frequently as I’d like. Read on for how I decided to handle automatic hourly scans and reporting.
First, what is DetectX Swift? Developed by Phil Stokes, DTXS detects “Potentially destabilizing software (PDS), Potentially unwanted software (PUS), Adware (ADW) and Malware.” It does that very quickly and for a very affordable price. Stokes will be quick to tell you that MacAdmins who only interact with DTXS via the command line are missing out on a lot of features the program has to offer.
After testing DTXS and hanging out in the MacAdmins Slack #detectx channel for a while I decided that at only $299 for every computer we own, purchasing DTXS was a no brainer.
Deploying DTXS with Munki is very straightforward. As McCauley covers in his article, all that is needed is a postinstall script to register the application and as a bonus run a full disk scan with results reported to MunkiReport right away. Unlike Zack I’m installing directly into /Applications/ (for better user visibility) so my postinstall looks like this:
However since I spend a lot of time in MunkiReport I want more current results and don’t want to rely on users rebooting for a scan to happen. The sample LaunchDaemon also only runs at load.
I decided on hourly scans to somewhat correspond with Munki’s hourly runs. However I’m using a LaunchDaemon instead of tying the scan into Munki’s process to avoid any possible slowdowns there. This means at worst, results in MunkiReport should never be more then two hours old.
I also decided to use a separate script to run the scan instead of embedding it into the LaunchDaemon. This allows me to easily run it from the command line as well as edit it later if needed without having to touch the LaunchDaemon.
I packaged them both up and deploy them via Munki set as an update_for DTXS.
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.galvnews.DetectX.search.plist
/Library/GalvNews/Scripts/DetectX_search.sh
The package’s postinstall simply loads the LaunchDaemon after installing it:
I’m very happy with the results so far. The rollout has been smooth and essentially transparent to the user base. DTXS detected five computers with “Issues” immediately, something that might have taken me months to notice in the past.
The only things missing now are automated removals by DTXS via the command line and email notifications from MunkiReport. Hopefully those options will arrive in good time.
UPDATE:Alan Siu just shared his method for hourly scans by integrating more directly with Munki. As a bonus he has auto removal of issues functioning as well. Check it out!

If you are new to DetectX and DetectX Swift, you are probably wondering whether you need it and is it any good? Let me try to address those questions here.
Track changes
Have you ever had a problem with your Mac and wondered how it got in that state? Everything used to work just fine until one day it doesn’t. How can you figure out when and where things went wrong?
DetectX Swift’s History section shows you what has been added or deleted to critical areas of your Mac. You can review recent changes (since DetectX’s last launch) or all changes since you started using DetectX.
In DetectX Swift, you also have the ability to run differentials between one timestamp and another, giving you very fine visibility into how your Mac has changed over time.
Find issues
DetectX uses advanced heuristics to alert you to known issues as well as unknown ones. It has the ability to not only identify files that can cause problems, but also to flag running processes whose behaviour is suspicious.
User control
DetectX doesn’t delete files automatically. It raises issues for you to review. Control always remains with you. After all, it’s your Mac, not ours (and not Apple’s!).
DetectX Swift also allows you fine-grained insight into what is on your Mac through the dynamic Profiler.
There are also command line tools for Network Admins and advanced users.

Safety first
Unlike other security and troubleshooting tools, DetectX does not install itself with root permissions. It does not install any Kexts (Library Extensions) or Privileged Helper Tools running as root.
DetectX rarely needs to elevate permissions, but when it does (such as if you choose to delete something outside of your Home folder), DetectX will always ask for those via macOS’s own security protocol. These permissions are on a per-job basis, meaning DetectX cannot do anything except the job you authorise and only at the time you authorise it: DetectX does not hold on to those permissions once the job has been done.
Fast & efficient
DetectX Swift is probably the fastest tool of its kind on the market. It’s so fast people sometimes wonder if it’s really doing much at all. Let us answer that question with a quick (less than a minute) video:
