How can I create a python script to get a server information base on these fields?

hostname, osrelease, if it's a virtual or physical server.

Output 

hostname1, redhat 5.8, VMware

I have something like this:

import platform

print 'uname:', platform.uname()

print 'system   :', platform.system()
print 'node     :', platform.node()
print 'release  :', platform.release()

  • Please add your code to the question. – Alex Lynham Jun 19 '15 at 16:50
  • Is this script running on the server? What do you mean by hostname, the DNS entry corresponding to the IP-adres? – chtenb Jun 22 '15 at 11:48
  • Yes the script is running on the server. The script will collect the information only. – pirulo Jun 22 '15 at 15:53

The first two columns of your required output are quite simple to obtain:

import platform
print (platform.node(), ' '.join(platform.dist()[:2]))

The information of the last column, i.e. if Python is running under a virtual or physical machine, seems tricky. Consult the following pages for some hints:

  • Thank you, for you help.. I really wanted to see see if the servers is "virtual or physical" using the the Python script not Python under either servers env. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. – pirulo Jun 22 '15 at 15:51
