Hi Tomasz,
It would be great!
Thank you.
Done.
Andrey you should think about systemd timer feature, to allow to start hw-
probe one time per XX time i.e month and upload probed data to
http://linux-hardware.org
Hello,
The space on the server is limited, so it's better to upload only one probe per
new computer/OS version and one per each new hardware issue found. Otherwise it
will be necessary to overwrite old probes of a computer by new ones or increase
space on the server.
Indeed, why once per month? Is that an heartbeat? Unless the hwprobe
would change adding new
features, the hardware is usually not changing every month, so every
month the cron job would produce and upload the same output. IMHO once
and forall is enough.
One feature that could be added instead is a sort of "anonymous mode";
as you can see the output
contains useful information for common use, but also contains private
data, such as the serial number of the devices (disks, cards, etc.)
which sysadmins aren't generally prone to release publically. This
feature isn't so easy to add, though not impossible, as one have to take
the whole output and parse it with some regexp, where of the serial
numbers or other private data (e.g. public IPs, etc.) are obfuscated
with just "*****".
Bye
Giuseppe.
