NET, it should even be easier to access the Windows APIs). Use a native interface or a COM bridge from Java. WMI access), you might need to use C++ or C (e.g. NET), you can see the stack trace when something is failing. For instance, in Java (and I guess also in. Those languages have great advantages when it comes to tracking down errors or problems. Just in case you are interested in what it could look like: I am inspired by the many differnt number of challenges involved and that if i manage to produce a useful application at the end of it it would hopefully be extremely helpful to many people.Īs a software vendor of a discovery solution, I can just say: Respect, that you want to start a new one :-). I just would like to start moving forward with this as its one of the best projects i have been involved with. I would like to appologise if i have broken forum rules or not tried hard enough on my own before asking for assistance.

Surely there exist common code for extracting hardware and software details from a computer? Why cant i find it on the internet? I had the feeling you cant rely on whats in WMI, and even if you can that s no good for UNIX netwrks. Having looked at a few PYTHON examples they all seemed to be related to WINDOWS networksĪnd interrogating Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). My previous question on this topic ended up with PYTHON being championed as the language/script to go with to develop this application in. How many questions can i ask in one go? :-)

How do i go about getting through firewalls? Whats a good site, blog, usergorup, book for TCP/IP development?

One aspect iam really looking forward to finding out how to travers the entire network, Is there any such resource available on theinternet? (is that a silly question?)Īnywho, if you dont ask you wont find out! One problem i have is i dont have a 1000 machine newtork to play on! Once i have access to a single computers details i then need to investigate how i can traverse an entire newtork of printers, scanners, routers, load balancers, switches, firewalls, workstations, servers, storeage devices, laptops, monitors, the list goes on and on everything else you would find attached to a network. I am guessing getting this information about a computer is going to be easier than for printers, scanners, routers etc. EVERYTHING there is to know about the hardaware and software on a single machine.ĭoes this project exist? or do i have to develop that first? My first step is to find an existing open source project i can incorporate into my own code that extracts the fine grained details i am after, e.g. So I am turning to you to ask these questions:. I've spent almost two weeks googling and come up short! :-(. discovering a computers hardware and software settings. I have no experience of this type of development, e.g. However I am running before i can crawl here. Thats (and i hate to use the phrase) my "End Game". Reports all pertinent details of hardware and software. Reports on every possible resource attacehd to a network. I would like to develop a Network Inventory application that works on any operating system.
