Gather server information within a second

Gather server information within a second. If we have lot many servers and we would like to collect the asset inventory of each and every server then it is very difficult to run various  commands we have to run in order to collect / gather entire information about each server. If we manually run all the commands in each server it may require 5 minutes of time for each server where using below script which may reduce your time to 2 minutes for 100 Servers wow..!!.

Gather server information within a second

Lets see how we can achieve this task using shell script.

Note: We do not recommend to run this script in any production servers, we strictly suggest you to run this in test or home environment only. This script will come either no WARRANTY with NO support.

Create a file called systeminfo.sh

# touch systeminfo.sh

copy the below code to above created file

#!/bin/bash

/bin/mail -s "Linux Asset Inventory `hostname`" $MAILIST < $FILE

run the shell script file using below command

# sh systeminfo.sh

if you would like to run the same an multiple servers we have to create password less authentication first See Guide Here

then use below to run in multiple server

Write list of server in one file  example say /tmp/hostlist.txt

Collect Multiple Servers Information

now create script file and execute

touch multiservers.sh

Copy below code to above created file

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$#" = 0 ]; then
 echo "Usage: sh multiserver.sh file"
else if [ -f "$1" ]; then
 for i in `cat $1`; do scp systeminfo.sh root@$i:/root/; done
 for i in `cat $1`; do ssh root@$i sh /root/systeminfo.sh; done
else
echo "$1 not found"
fi
fi

Now execute file using below command Gather server information within a second

# sh multiservers.sh

That’s It you will receive an number of Emails to your mail box. Enjoy..!!
