Create a probe

Probe — is a snapshot of your computer's hardware state.

Run this simple command in the console to create a probe of your computer (devices information and depersonalized system logs will be securely uploaded to the database and you'll get an URL to view the probe):

Please follow install instructions here if the tool is not pre-installed in your BSD variant or start this Live image with pre-installed tool.

  By creating probes you contribute to the HDD/SSD Reliability Test study.

If you want to contribute, but do not want to install BSD on your computer, run helloSystem Live CD or NomadBSD Live USB and create a probe.

Inventory

The tool may help to simplify inventory of hardware in your organization.

Monitoring

Protect your servers by setting up hardware monitoring. It is also the best way to help the project live longer.

Privacy

Private information (including the username, machine's hostname, IP addresses, MAC addresses, UUIDs and serial numbers) is NOT uploaded to the database.

The tool uploads 32-byte prefix of salted SHA512 hash of MAC addresses and serial numbers to properly identify unique computers and hard drives. UUIDs are decorated in the same way, but formatted like regular UUIDs in order to save readability of logs. All the data is uploaded securely via HTTPS.
