* Package name : asset-collector Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Benjamin Drung <benjamin.dr...@profitbricks.com> * URL : to be released on Github * License : ISC Programming Lang: Python 3 Description : collect information about the used hardware/software The asset-collector gathers information about the hardware components in the system, the installed software and the configuration of both. The information is collected from various places like the Direct Media Interface (DMI) table, the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Field Replaceable Units (FRU), the kernel or the APT package manager. The collected information can be printed in different formats (JSON, pprint, text) and/or transmitted via representational state transfer (REST) to an asset management system. The asset-collector tries to make every hardware component identifiable by serial number for tracking the components and assisting return merchandise authorization (RMA) processes. The collected information can be used to get an overview of the hardware products and software versions in use (in case they are transmitted to an asset management system). I started writing the asset-collector, because I found no other tool for this purpose (correct me if I am wrong). I invite everyone who is interested in this topic to join the project. -- Benjamin Drung System Developer Debian & Ubuntu Developer ProfitBricks GmbH Greifswalder Str. 207 D - 10405 Berlin Email: benjamin.dr...@profitbricks.com URL: http://www.profitbricks.com Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin.
