Any proper way to add information to the client details ?

[astmdef]

Hello,

I would like to add information (eg: firmwares versions) to the client details which is included in every test.
Is there any way to do that properly ? Or does I have to patch the source code manually ?

To avoid any confusion, here is a screenshot of what I call "client details" :


Thanks.

Like what firmware versions are you interested in? The BIOS version and CPU microcode version should already be shown.

I was thinking mostly about NIC and RAID controller firmware versions.

I was thinking mostly about NIC and RAID controller firmware versions.

It would be possible to add them as footnotes on that table but off the top of my head I am not sure of any standardized way of reliably querying NIC/RAID firmware versions on Linux?

For NICs you can find driver, driver version and firmware version using ethtool -i; example :

# ethtool -i eno1 | head -3
driver: tg3
version: 3.137
firmware-version: FFV20.2.17 bc 5720-v1.39

About RAID firmware "lshw -C disk" can help.
It find the version in /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:03:00.0/host0/target0:2:0/0:2:0:0/rev (in my case); but I don't have any other raid controller model to verify.

# lshw -C disk | head -8
*-disk
description: SCSI Disk
product: PERC H730 Mini
vendor: DELL
physical id: 2.0.0
bus info: scsi@0:2.0.0
logical name: /dev/sda
version: 4.26

Another thing I would like to add to the information table is very specific: our internal release version number (kind of like Debian release but internal to the company)/
Having the possibility to expand the table with custom command might come handy.
