Q100082: [Machine] Hardware Inventory

Generates a JSON document containing hardware specifics for a given or local machine.

Notes

The [Machine] Hardware Inventory module is used to create a point in time look at all of the reported hardware in the server. When this module is run, the module catalogs all of the machine hardware, and reports it back in a JSON document. This JSON document is a block of readable data that can be used by a variety of other applications.

The hardware inventory reports on information such as the version of the Operating System installed, the type of CPU, the amount of memory, storage devices, network adaptors, and more. A small snippet of what this looks like is shown in the code block below. This example block has been edited down for brevity.
