# sys_info

Use the `sys_info` Chef InSpec audit resource to test for operating system properties for the named host, and then returns that info as standard output.

|
|
|
|
## Availability
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
This resource is distributed along with Chef InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Version
|
|
|
|
This resource first became available in v1.0.0 of InSpec.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
An `sys_info` resource block declares the hostname to be tested:
|
|
|
|
describe sys_info do
|
|
its('hostname') { should eq 'value' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this Chef InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
### Get system information for example.com
|
|
|
|
describe sys_info do
|
|
its('hostname') { should eq 'example.com' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
### Compare content to hostname
|
|
|
|
describe file('/path/to/some/file') do
|
|
its('content') { should match sys_info.hostname }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Options can be passed as arguments to hostname as well.
|
|
|
|
describe file('/path/to/some/file') do
|
|
its('content') { should match sys_info.hostname('full') }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Currently supported arguments to `hostname` on Linux platforms are 'full'|'f'|'fqdn'|'long', 'domain'|'d', 'ip_address'|'i', and 'short'|'s'. Mac currently supports 'full'|'f'|'fqdn'|'long' and 'short'|'s'
