OSHI is a free JNA-based (native) Operating System and Hardware Information library for Java. It does not require the installation of any additional native libraries and aims to provide a cross-platform implementation to retrieve system information, such as OS version, processes, memory & CPU usage, disks & partitions, devices, sensors, etc.

Supported platforms

Windows • Linux • Mac OS X • Unix (Solaris, FreeBSD)

Essentials

• API
• Find OSHI on Maven Central
• FAQ
• Upgrading from an earlier version?

Supported features

• Computer System and firmware, baseboard
• Operating System and Version/Build
• Physical (core) and Logical (hyperthreaded) CPUs
• System and per-processor load % and tick counters
• CPU uptime, processes, and threads
• Process uptime, CPU, memory usage
• Physical and virtual memory used/available
• Mounted filesystems (type, usable and total space)
• Disk drives (model, serial, size) and partitions
• Network interfaces (IPs, bandwidth in/out)
• Battery state (% capacity, time remaining)
• Connected displays (with EDID info)
• USB Devices
• Sensors (temperature, fan speeds, voltage)

Output

OSHI provides output directly via Java methods for each of its interfaces.
By periodically polling dynamic information (e.g., every second), users can calculate and track changes.

The main() method of SystemInfoTest provides sample code demonstrating the use of oshi-core interfaces to retrieve information and calculate additional metrics shown in the examples below.

You can run the SystemInfoTest and see the full output for your system by cloning the project and building it with Maven.

git clone https://github.com/oshi/oshi.git && cd oshi

mvn test-compile -pl oshi-core -q exec:java \
  -Dexec.mainClass="oshi.SystemInfoTest" \
  -Dexec.classpathScope="test"

Where are we?

OSHI originated as a platform-independent library that did not require additional software and had a license compatible with both open source and commercial products. We have developed a strong core of features on major Operating Systems, but we would love for you to help by:

• Testing! Download and test the program on various software and hardware and help identify gaps that our limited development and testing may have missed.
• Contributing ports. Have an OS that's not covered? It's likely one of the existing ports can be slightly modified.
• Contributing code. See something that's not working right or could work better? Help us fix it! New contributors welcome.
• Documenting implementation. Our Wiki is blank. Want to help new users follow in your footsteps?
• Suggesting new features. Do you need OSHI to do something it doesn't currently do? Let us know.
