Source

amass

Amass system information and expose it as JSON

Installation

Command line tool

npm install -g amass

Node module

npm install amass

Usage

As a module

var amass = require('amass');
amass(function(errors, data) {
    console.log(data);
});
  • data is an object representing all of the system information that was amassed.
  • errors, if set, is an array of any errors encountered from any of the plugins.

Command line tool

$ amass | json os.arch
x64
$ amass | json os.type
Darwin
$ amass | json os.cpus.0
{
  "model": "MacBookAir5,2",
  "speed": 1800,
  "times": {
    "user": 105979210,
    "nice": 0,
    "sys": 35549920,
    "idle": 314724130,
    "irq": 0
  }
}

Why?

There are other well-known programs that do a similar function. amass is written completely in node, and as such, doesn't rely on user-land tools that often behave differently on different operating systems, nor does it use and abuse sed, awk, cut, etc. all information comes from node's builtin modules.

Also, speed.

dave @ [ manilla :: (Darwin) ] ~/dev/node-amass $ time ./bin/amass.js > /dev/null

real    0m0.064s
user    0m0.053s
sys     0m0.010s

Plugins

still in beta

All plugins will be stored in /var/amass. The idea is that plugins should be standalone node modules that expose useful system information, and as such, be installed in node_modules in /var/amass.
