Hardware Probe Tool 1.6

In this release we have properly tested and fixed support for almost all *BSD systems, expanded support for more Linux systems, implemented probing of HP Smart Array and improved decorating of possibly significant data in collected logs.

LHWM — Linux/BSD Hardware Monitoring feature is publicly available.

See detailed changelog in the NEWS.md file.

Hardware Probe Tool 1.6 BETA2

In this release we add support for BSD systems (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly, MidnightBSD, GhostBSD, NomadBSD, FreeNAS, pfSense, OS108, etc.), improve identification of hardware devices on board and fix several security issues in collected logs.

See detailed changelog in the NEWS.md file.

Hardware Probe Tool 1.5

In this release we significantly improved anonymization of probes, added quick run-time tests for several devices and implemented more detailed identification of hardware devices on board.

Summary: significantly better anonymization of probes, support for MegaRAID and Adaptec RAID, simple run-time tests for memory/HDD/CPU, enabling/disabling of atomic probes, better identification of devices/statuses, importing probes by inventory ID, identification of hardware/OS properties, hardware monitoring (Beta), support for universal packages.

See detailed changelog in the NEWS.md file.

Hardware Probe Tool 1.4

Most significant change in this release is the anonymization of probes on the client-side. Previously "private data" (like IPs, MACs, serials, hostname, username, etc.) was removed on the server-side. But now you do not have to worry how server will handle your "private data", since it's not uploaded at all. You can now upload probes from any computers and servers w/o the risk of security leak.

Summary: improved privacy, faster probing, probe USB drives, probe MegaRAID, probe via sudo, improved detection of hardware, Deb package.

See detailed changelog in the NEWS.md file.
