Try expanding the options to try to identify the root cause of this alert. As you mentioned that you are using MacOS, there might be some permission that needs to be granted to the Elastic Agent. Run the` ./elastic-agent status` and `./elastic-agent diagnostics` command to try to identify any error messages.

Please reply ASAP so we can get your kit sent out.
