You could use the bb-cpu2 script from deadcat... Sample output (formatting hosed from email) Note this is a dual core so the difference in System/physical cpus (also works for hyperthreading):

Hi,

Would it be possible to have the hobbit client reporting the number and type of CPU (creating a new [cpu] section)?

A "cat /proc/cpuinfo" on a linux machine will do the trick, but I don't know if this would be easy for the other OSes.

Cheers, Gildas

You could use prtdiag for Solaris(SunOS) boxes.

This could possibly be rolled into the hobbit code, to check what OS is running on the client, then based on the client run the appropriate tool and have it report this info in another section of the clientdata that is sent back to the hobbit server for it to parse through. If you do this, you are using hobbit for inventory. And I don't think that you want this. Same for amount of memory. Same for amount of NIC's. This is _not_ monitoring, but inventory.

I'm not saying that you can not use hobbit for this, I'm saying that this is something you don't want in the default hobbit client. What you _can_ do is put all the inventory information in 1 check. This check will never go not-red (same like the trends and info columns), but will be an inventory of the client.

(I'm not talking about DLPAR on power5 where you can change hardware on the fly.....)
