CMS_AddHardwareInventory

Description

Syntax

CMS_AddHardwareInventory(category, entry, value, valuetype)

Parameters

category (String)

Category name

entry (String)

variable name

value (string)

If you are inserting a Time (valuetype: "T") it must be set in epoch-time, meaning seconds since January 1. 1970. The scripting library has a function called GetEpochTime, which will convert a date to seconds since 1-1-1970.

If you want to use 'now' as the value, you can either insert;

• an empty string ("")
• or the value ("0")

valuetype (string)

The type of the value

Valid valuetypes are;

• "S" for string
• "I" for integer
• "T" for time

Example

If bStatus Then bStatus = CMS_AddHardwareInventory("BIOS Information", "Socket type", "Mill-A" "S")
If bStatus Then bStatus = CMS_AddHardwareInventory("CPU", "Fan speed", "1360" "I")
If bStatus Then bStatus = CMS_AddHardwareInventory("Sound Adapter", "SoundBlaster compatiple", "True" "S")
