Add support to the Discovery Agent for Apple M1 Chip computers

The current release of the Discovery Agent will not install on the new Apple M1 based computers. Most of the computers that I ordered for our university shipped with the M1 chip, and we cannot install the SolarWinds Discovery Agent on them for Asset Management.

My goodness, yes. This is ridiculous. The least that you need to do is change some lines in the installbuilder.sh script to check for Rosetta2, install that if it's not found, then kick ARM64 into the intel install pathway.

we need this as well, if we are going to depend on Service Desk Asset Management.

I cannot get the discovery agent to deploy to any MAC computers in our environment - not just M1s --- is there something I am missing? I read this article about an issue w the Monterrey OS upgrade: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/solarwinds-service-desk-swsd/f/forum/93021/discovery-agent-and-macos-monterey-support

Hi @jrocco,

Interesting that you can't get the agent to install on any Mac computer. I would recommend opening a support ticket by emailing technicalsupport@solarwinds.com so we can better assist you with this. Currently, there are no known issues with either agent.
