10 Commands to Collect System and Hardware Info in Linux

Aaron KiliSeptember 8, 2021 CategoriesLinux Commands 38 Comments

It is always a good practice to know the hardware components of your Linux system is running on, this helps you to deal with compatibility issues when it comes to installing packages, drivers on your system using yum, dnf, or apt.

Therefore in these tips and tricks series, we shall look at some useful commands that can help you to extract information about your Linux system and hardware components.

1. How to View Linux System Information

To know only the system name, you can use the uname command without any switch that will print system information or the uname -s command will print the kernel name of your system.

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ uname
Linux

To view your network hostname, use the ‘-n’ switch with the uname command as shown.

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ uname -n
tecmint.com

To get information about kernel-version, use the ‘-v’ switch.

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ uname -v
#64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:28:38 UTC 2014

To get the information about your kernel release, use the ‘-r’ switch.

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ uname -r
3.13.0-37-generic

To print your machine hardware name, use the ‘-m’ switch:

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ uname -m
x86_64

All this information can be printed at once by running the ‘uname -a’ command as shown below.

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ uname -a
Linux tecmint.com 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:28:38
UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

2. How to View Linux System Hardware Information

Here you can use the lshw tool to gather vast information about your hardware components such as cpu, disks, memory, usb controllers, etc.

lshw is a relatively small tool and there are few options that you can use with it while extracting information. The information provided by lshw was gathered from different /proc files.

Note: Do remember that the lshw command is executed by the superuser (root) or sudo user.

To print information about your Linux system hardware, run this command.

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ sudo lshw

7. How to Print SCSI Devices Information

To view all your scsi/sata devices, use the lsscsi command as follows. If you do not have the lsscsi tool installed, run the following command to install it.

$ sudo apt-get install lsscsi        [on Debian derivatives]
# yum install lsscsi                 [On RedHat based systems]
# dnf install lsscsi                 [On Fedora 21+ Onwards]

After installation, run the lsscsi command as shown:

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ lsscsi

[0:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      ST1000LM024 HN-M 2BA3  /dev/sda 
[1:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  PLDS     DVD-RW DA8A5SH   RL61  /dev/sr0 
[4:0:0:0]    disk    Generic- xD/SD/M.S.       1.00  /dev/sdb

Use the -s option to show device sizes.

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ lsscsi -s

[0:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      ST1000LM024 HN-M 2BA3  /dev/sda   1.00TB

[4:0:0:0]    disk    Generic- xD/SD/M.S.       1.00  /dev/sdb        -

8. How to Print Information about SATA Devices

You can find some information about sata devices on your system as follows using the hdparm utility. In the example below, I used the block device /dev/sda1 which is the hard disk on my system.

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ sudo hdparm /dev/sda1

/dev/sda1:
 multcount     =  0 (off)
 IO_support    =  1 (32-bit)
 readonly      =  0 (off)
 readahead     = 256 (on)
 geometry      = 56065/255/63, sectors = 2048000, start = 2048

To print information about device geometry in terms of cylinders, heads, sectors, size, and the starting offset of the device, use the -g option.

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ sudo hdparm -g /dev/sda1

/dev/sda1:
 geometry      = 56065/255/63, sectors = 2048000, start = 2048

9. How to Check Linux File System Information

To gather information about file system partitions, you can use the fdisk command. Although the main functionality of the fdisk command is to modify file system partitions, it can also be used to view information about the different partitions on your file system.

You can print partition information as follows. Remember to run the command as a superuser or else you may not see any output.

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ sudo fdisk -l

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! 
The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.


Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, 
total 1953525168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Is there a tool that can inventory serial ports and report on the supported features for each port? For example, does the port support any/all of the control lines or only transmit/receive? Does the port have specific speed limitations? etc.

Where do the html output goes to? I tried the lshw >html but I can’t find it anywhere. By the way, I was curious whether running lshw>txt would work, but it didn’t lol

  @Moltke,
  The html file created in your current working directory, for example if you run the following command from /home/username, the output of html will be created under /home/username, that you can check with ls command.
  # sudo lshw -html > lshw.html # ls

    Thank you for your answer. Yes, after posting the question it occurred to me to check the capture again and there it was; /home/username on the search bar, so I went to my home folder and found it.
    Felt a little bit like a fool and wanted to delete the comment but it is not possible to do so :)…thanks again for your answer. And nice article! I’m a big fan of this site, always come to check what’s new and always find some really useful articles like this one.
    By the way, if I were to do some “benchmarks” on Linux systems, what is the best way to do so? Something else than top, htop or the likes.
    I’m running some VMs under virtualbox and I’m curious if it is possible to do and how. I’d like to do that to compare them all cause I’m creating a wiki with all the tests I’ve done so far for personal use and who knows, maybe even upload it onto the web!!

    You can use: 1. glances – a top-like monitoring tool with modern features compared to top 2. smem – reports memory consumption per-process and per-user basis in Linux 3. stress-ng – impose high CPU load and run stress test 4. And there are lot’s of other tools you can find here: 20 Command Line Tools to Monitor Linux Performance
    These are obviously not the only tools, but i believe using a collection of various tools/utilities can help you come up with accurate and more reliable results. Thanks.

    Thanks for your answer. I’ve used glances and it is quite useful. The other ones haven’t used them yet, but I will.
    On Linux system where systemd is present, it’s possible to use some command line utilities to gather information about boot time, CPU usage and more, what can I use to do this in those ones where it is not?.
    Also, the mesa-utils offer the capability to run tests on graphics performance. However, this is a lot of information to process and it is much time consuming, is there such a software/tool which I can use for gathering this information altogether?
    I think probably not, but if you don’t mind I’d like to post the question, is there any? In the link you provided I see collectl, and it certainly looks like the perfect tool to accomplish what I want, or at least most of it, so I’ll try it and see what’s capable of. Thanks again for taking the time to answer. :)

You can also use smartctl to check your drives, hpasmcli/hpacucli for hp servers, and ipmitool sdr list to see information about your sensors, fans, etc.

How can i check hardware in other PCs in networks that has Linux on board? I have been using 3rd party GUI computer hardware inventory from Softinventive Lab software but it`s too pricy. Any clues?

  @Kerhep
  I suppose you mean checking PC hardware info from a Linux machine, we have not come across any specific tools for that purpose, however, you can use network monitoring tools such as Nagios, Zabbix, Monitorix and many more. Although, they may not offer detailed hardware info from PCs.

  You could use “ansible” which is great tool mainly used for automation, orchestration, which can also handy for running standalone commands, which can just use native ssh protocol to query end device and pull out complete hardware dump and show it.
  This is again open source, however, there is an enterprise version called “ansible tower” for which u would need license. Ansible is belongs to Red Hat now.

    Thanks for the clear, descriptive and above all useful feedback. I’ll surely try it out and hope every user who has faced the same issue as @Kerhap Gause will as well.
