How can I get system/hardware info via Java?

Question

I need to get system and hardware info via a Java application.

I'm interested in:

• Os details;
• Processors count, names, processor load in percents;
• Memory status (total/free);
• Os process (threads) count and CPU/Memory usage for each of them;
• Network statistic (for each interface);

Is there a Java library that can do this?

Solution 1

1. Using Java to get os level system Information will get you started in right direction.
2. Finding Operating System Information

Solution 2

i have used SIGAR and is a wonderful tool for getting all SysInfo programatically. +1

"I looking for Java library for this" asking for library recommendations is (now) off topic.

@Raedwald: That's a pity. I think such a type of questions are needed. The OP formulated the request very clear and concrete. We should not be so fundamentalistic - my understanding is that the rule you are mentioning should be used mainly for avoiding opinion-based questions. However this particular question is technical.

For those who doubt the wisdom of the library recommendations being off-topic, just look at the quality of the answers to this question. 1) An answer that just links to other Q&A's. 2) An answer that just says "i have used SIGAR and is a wonderful tool for getting all SysInfo programatically. +1". 3) A "me too" answer ... deleted.

Great link! Thanks from the non-OP! Sigar looks quite impressive. Have you used this Rachel?

[Vladimir Kostyukov]

Thanks! I think SIGAR solves my problems.

Yes, SIGAR is indeed very useful.
