About
Check hardware devices operability, collect logs and find drivers.
The Fedora Hardware Database is automatically created based on hardware probes collected by this RPM package or by this flatpak. It is the successor of Smolt project. The database is dumped to a Github repository for statistical analysis by third parties.
Latest statistical report can be found on this page.
Installation
# dnf install hw-probe
For RHEL/CentOS version 6/7/8 the package is available as well in the EPEL repository:
# yum install epel-release
Usage
Submit your hardware:
# sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload
Output:
Probe for hardware ... Ok Reading logs ... Ok Uploaded to DB, Thank you! Probe URL: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=c84b37d646
Runtime tests
Perform simple tests for drives, cpu, memory and graphics (requires mesa-demos package):
# hw-probe -all -upload -check
Drives
SMART reports are collected from all connected drives (including all drives behind the MegaRAID and Adaptec controllers) with the help of smartmontools. By creating a probe, you contribute to the HDD/SSD desktop-class reliability study.
ACPI
Dump and decode ACPI tables for debugging (requires acpica-tools package):
# hw-probe -all -upload -decode-acpi
Privacy
Private info is not collected. Moreover, it's safer to share your logs by hw-probe rather than share manually, because most private data is removed or hashed at the client side before uploading.
