Hardware Metrics

Hardware parameters are sourced from SMBIOS/DMI data, available on Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, and Solaris (a subset on AIX). On Solaris, the full SMBIOS metric set is available on x86 only; SPARC systems expose only Hardware.System.Manufacturer and Hardware.System.Product. Use the corresponding Hardware.* list or table to enumerate available devices.
