About hw-probe

A tool to check operability of computer hardware and upload result

to the Linux hardware database.

Probe — is a snapshot of your computer hardware state and system

logs. The tool returns a permanent URL to view the probe of the

computer.

The tool is intended to simplify collecting of logs necessary for

investigating hardware related problems. Just ask user to run one

simple command to collect all the system logs at once:

sudo hw-probe -all -upload

By creating probes you contribute to the HDD/SSD Real-Life

Reliability Test study: https://github.com/linuxhw/SMART.
