  24       <div class="date"> 3rd June 2010</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>When using sitesummary at a site to track machines, it is possible
  26 to get a list of the machine types in use thanks to the DMI
  27 information extracted from each machine.  The script to do so is
  28 included in the sitesummary package, and here is example output from
  29 the Skolelinux build servers:</p>
  30
  31 <blockquote><pre>
  32 maintainer:~# /usr/lib/sitesummary/hardware-model-summary
  33   vendor                    count
  34   Dell Computer Corporation     1
  35     PowerEdge 1750              1
  36   IBM                           1
  37     eserver xSeries 345 -[8670M1X]-     1
  38   Intel                         2
  39   [no-dmi-info]                 3
  40 maintainer:~#
  41 </pre></blockquote>
  42
  43 <p>The quality of the report depend on the quality of the DMI tables
  44 provided in each machine.  Here there are Intel machines without model
  45 information listed with Intel as vendor and no model, and virtual Xen
  46 machines listed as [no-dmi-info].  One can add -l as a command line
  47 option to list the individual machines.</p>
  48
  49 <p>A larger list is
  50 <a href="http://narvikskolen.no/sitesummary/">available from the the
  51 city of Narvik</a>, which uses Skolelinux on all their shools and also
  52 provide the basic sitesummary report publicly.  In their report there
  53 are ~1400 machines. I know they use both Ubuntu and Skolelinux on
  54 their machines, and as sitesummary is available in both distributions,
  55 it is trivial to get all of them to report to the same central
  56 collector.</p>
