Hi!

I am a Java-Newbie, and I am playing around with my first program.

I want to get some hardware information, and in the newsgroups I was
reprimand to Hyperic Sigar.

Now I tried some hours to get the needed information, but I didn't
understand how Sigar works.

I tried:
---
import java.util.Map;

import org.hyperic.sigar.CpuInfo;
import org.hyperic.sigar.FileSystem;
import org.hyperic.sigar.Sigar;

public class SystemInfo {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println(Sigar.VERSION_STRING);

System.out.println("**********");
Map ci = new CpuInfo().toMap();
System.out.println(ci.toString());

System.out.println("**********");
Map fs = new FileSystem().toMap();
System.out.println(fs.toString());

System.out.println("**********");
}

}
---

But I get no Information:
---
1.2.0.0
**********
{Model=null, CacheSize=0, Mhz=0, Vendor=null}
**********
{Type=0, DirName=null, TypeName=null, DevName=null, SysTypeName=null,
Flags=0}
**********
---

Please can anyone tell me how to use Sigar in my Java project?

Thanks & greetings,
Christian.

I do not want to install this product. It is to big. I am running on
windoze XP SP 2. I can run the dos cmd line program sigar:

java -jar sigar.jar

This required the few other jar files and a DLL to be in the classpath
and path:

sigar.jar
bcel-5.1.jar
junit.jar
log4j.jar

sigar-x86-winnt.dll

I suspect that you will have to have the DLL in your path to get the
actual information to be passed back to your program ala the sigar
Class. This is naturally for windows. Not sure about the other
platforms. The doc says that there are examples under java\examples. I
did not find then but may not have the correct download.

Sample cmd line oputput:

==> sigar help
Available commands:
alias - Create alias command
cpuinfo - Display cpu information
df - Report filesystem disk space usage
du - Display usage for a directory recursively
free - Display information about free and used memory
get - Get system properties
help - Gives help on shell commands
ifconfig - Network interface information
iostat - Report filesystem disk i/o
kill - Send signal to a process
mps - Show multi process status
netinfo - Display network info
netstat - Display network connections
pargs - Show process command line arguments
penv - Show process environment
pfile - Display process file info
pinfo - Display all process info
pmodules - Display process module info
ps - Show process status
ptql - Run process table query
quit - Terminate the shell
route - Kernel IP routing table
service - Windows service commands
set - Set system properties
sleep - Delay execution for the a number of seconds
source - Read a file, executing the contents
sysinfo - Display system information
test - Run sigar tests
time - Time command
ulimit - Display system resource limits
uptime - Display how long the system has been running
version - Display sigar and system version info
who - Show who is logged on

Hello together!

I did it by myself:

1. True Homepage of Hyperic Sigar: http://sigar.hyperic.com

2. True download under:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=172552

3. I downloaded the file hyperic-sigar-1.2.0.0.zip. I unzipped the file,
and copied all files from the folder "hyperic-sigar-1.2.0.0\sigar-bin\lib"
(excepted: .sigar_shellrc, bcel-5.1.jar, junit.jar, log4j.jar und pdh.dll).

4. After that I created a little Test-Program (I know it is not beatiful
and good, but I only needed a Test for how to use Hyperic Sigar). And it
worked!

I din't find anything about using Hyperic Sigar. And I didn't get any
useful information about their forum, so I thougt, I post my result hoping
it could help anyone...

Thanks Christian for finding that download. It all makes sense now. I
like their examples and information. Much more information than the Java
Properties Class. You are right, to run all need the Java sigar.jar.

Also the sigar-x86-winnt.dll is required to run the product on windows.
If the DLL is not available you see an error:

"org.hyperic.sigar.SigarException: no sigar-x86-winnt.dll in
java.library.path"

The other jar files (log4j.jar, bcel-5.1.jar, junit.jar) are used for
Shell.java program. This is the cmdline program.

Not sure what the pdh.DLL is used for. My guess is for perl.

Thanks in Advance...

No, look to the properties of pdh.dll, it is from Microsoft. I searched for
this file on my Windows XP ServicePack2 System, and I found it in the
C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory. So I think, it should be on every modern
Windows system, and I don't need to ship it with my program.

You are right. I should have tracked it down and not say anything
because I would be guessing.

Well the PDH stands for 'Performance Data Helper'. Windows requires it
and is used when monitoring your machine's performance. The file
pdh.dll, contains program code used for the creation of log files and
other measurement methods. I only saw reference for Windows NT 4.0 and
Windows 2000. Naturally it must have some use for XP since it is on the
system I guess. But then I am guessing again.. lol
