MagniComp's SysInfo provides Unix/Linux System Administrators with extremely detailed, platform independent hardware, software, and OS configuration data for most Unix/Linux platforms. SysInfo enables System Administrators to quickly see a high level view of a system's configuration or dive deeply into very low level configuration data. You can grab something as "simple" as a system's model name or you can plunge down to detailed information on disk drives to view a drive's serial number and RPM speed.
SysInfo supports both a sophisticated Command Line Interface (CLI) for consumption by both humans and programs, as well as a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to browse the volumes of data available. In addition, the following APIs are supported:
Easy shell script embedding (see mcsysinfocli(1))
Program parsable output (see mcsysinforeport(1))
Perl API (see mcsysinfoperl(3))
C API (see mcsysinfoc(3))
Here is just some of the types of information that may be provided:
Extremely detailed hardware (device) information
Kernel parameters
System configuration parameters
Installed software packages
Host name
Host name aliases
Host network addresses
Host ID
System serial number
Manufacturer of the system's hardware
System model name
CPU type
Application architecture
Kernel architecture
Amount of main memory
Operating system name
Operating system version
Kernel version
The detail of information varies according to the underlying abilities of each OS, but the data is provided in a consistant manner across all supported platforms.
