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 and CPU usage, disks and partitions, devices, sensors, etc.
Supported Platforms
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux (Android)
- UNIX (AIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris)

Current Development (SNAPSHOT) downloads
Usage
- Include OSHI and its dependencies on your classpath.
- We strongly recommend you add
oshi-core
as a dependency to your project dependency manager such as Maven or Gradle. - For Android, you'll need to add the AAR artifact for JNA and exclude OSHI's transitive (JAR) dependency.
- See the FAQ if you encounter
NoClassDefFoundError
or NoSuchMethodError
problems.
- Create a new instance of
SystemInfo
- Use the getters from
SystemInfo
to access hardware or operating system components, such as:
SystemInfo si = new SystemInfo();
HardwareAbstractionLayer hal = si.getHardware();
CentralProcessor cpu = hal.getProcessor();
See SystemInfoTest.java for examples. To see sample output for your machine:
git clone https://github.com/oshi/oshi.git && cd oshi
./mvnw test-compile -pl oshi-core exec:java \
-Dexec.mainClass="oshi.SystemInfoTest" \
-Dexec.classpathScope="test"
Some settings are configurable in the oshi.properties
file, which may also be manipulated using the GlobalConfig
class. This should be done at startup, as configuration is not thread-safe and OSHI does not guarantee re-reading the configuration during operation.
The oshi-demo
artifact includes several proof-of-concept examples of using OSHI to obtain information, including a basic Swing GUI.
Supported Features
- Computer System and firmware, baseboard
- Operating System and Version/Build
- Physical (core) and Logical (hyperthreaded) CPUs, processor groups, NUMA nodes
- System and per-processor load, usage tick counters, interrupts, uptime
- Process uptime, CPU, memory usage, user/group, command line args, thread details
- Physical and virtual memory used/available
- Mounted filesystems (type, usable and total space, options, reads and writes)
- Disk drives (model, serial, size, reads and writes) and partitions
- Network interfaces (IPs, bandwidth in/out), network parameters, TCP/UDP statistics
- Battery state (% capacity, time remaining, power usage stats)
- USB Devices
- Connected displays (with EDID info), graphics and audio cards
- Sensors (temperature, fan speeds, voltage) on some hardware
Support
- For bug reports, feature requests, or general questions about OSHI's longer term plans, please create an issue.
- For help integrating OSHI into your own project or maintainer code review of your PRs, tag
@dbwiddis
in issues or pull requests on your project site. - For "how to" questions regarding the use of the API, consult examples in the
oshi-demo
project, create an issue, or search on Stack Overflow using the oshi
tag, asking a new question if it hasn't been answered before. - To say thanks to OSHI's primary maintainer, you can sponsor him or buy him a coffee.

How Can I Help?
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! Our CI testing is limited to a few platforms. Download and test the program on various operating systems/versions and hardware and help identify gaps that our limited development and testing may have missed. Specific high priority testing needs include:
- Windows systems with over 64 logical processors
- Raspberry Pi
- Less common Linux distributions
- Contributing code. See something that's not working right or could work better? Help us fix it! New contributors are welcome.
- Documenting implementation. Our Wiki is sparse and the
oshi-demo
artifact is a place to host proof-of-concept ideas. 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.
