SIC2 incl. SIC2GUI Updated 2011-11-23

UEZ · October 10, 2008

A demonstration how to use pseudo multi processing to speed up collection of information of remote systems:

Normally a script works sequentially, e.g. it checks one system by one. If a systems hangs then whole script hangs, too.

How about to speed up script by using multiple processes?

Let's see my solution for that!

This command line tool S(ystem)I(nformation)C(ollector)2 aka SIC2 is helpful for system admins which need to collect data from their systems in an easy and fast way.

SIC2 is a tool which can do that, particularly with ability of pseudo parallel multiple processes (multi threading).

It connects e.g. via WMI to local and/or remote systems to collect data (see options below).

Here the command line (use it in a CMD box):

Usage: SIC2.exe [-i "<system filename="" list="">"]

[-master -slaves <n>] for multiprocessing mode

[-ver] for version number

[-prio <0-3>] for process prio - standard is 0 (idle)

[<options>]

[-? | /? | -help | /help]] for this page

Options can be:

-os get only information about operating system

-rl get only information about role of system

-sv get only information about running services

If argument [-master -slaves <n>] is not given then sequential

mode will be used automatically!

Output will be written to folder Output where SIC2.exe was started.

Output format is a semicolon separated text file (*.csv).

On each run output files will be overwritten!

<system filename="" list=""> is a text file with the names of the systems in each line.

An example of the command line could be: SIC2.exe -i serverlist.txt -master -slaves 15 -os -rl -sv -prio 1

This will run SIC2.exe which will create 15 sub processes (slaves) which are connecting to the systems given in serverlist.txt.

Of course it makes no sense to select 15 slaves when the list contains less systems!

~~Currently only 3 modules are implemented. Feel free to upgrade it with more options.~~ See below for a version with more modules!

Benchmark on a terminal server with only 4 users, with gigabit network and SIC2.exe in idle priority:

152 systems, only LAN connection, no WAN.

WAN benchmark will follow hopefully.

I hope this is tool is helpful for you! But have in mind that this project is still in beta phase and thus maybe buggy!

Some parts also adjusted to my needs and will give no results probably on your systems.

Here the code (early stage with 3 modules only):

New Version Below:

You can download source + compiled exes (22 modules) here: SIC2.exe + SIC2.au3 + SIC2GUI.exe

Source code of full version (22 modules) here (build 2012-02-24 beta): SIC2_Src.7z (149 downloads of previous versions)

Use e.g. 7-Zip to extract archive.

SIC2.txt Commandline Parameters:

Reveal hidden contents

SIC2 v2.0 build 2010-06-08 beta by UEZ.

Usage: SIC2 <-i (system list filename)>
        [-master] for multi processing mode
        [-slaves <n>] can only be used with -master parameter.
    Default is 20.
        [-prio <0-3>] for process prio - standard is 0 (idle)
        [-silent] no output to CMD
        [-no_folder] doesn't create the output folder.
        [-zip] move Run_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS folder to ZIP archive
        [-shuffle] shuffels system list
        <options> see below!
        [-ver] for version number
        [-? | /? | -help | /help]] for this page

Options can be (at least one option below must be set):

    -all activate all options below
    -di get only information about domain
    -dp get only information about disk partitions
    -el get only information about eventlog
    -ee [d] [id] get only information about eventlog system errors-> slow
    -hd get only information about harddisk
    -hw get only information about hardware
    -ls get only information about local shares
    -lu get only information about local user accounts
    -ms get only information about membership of local administrators group
    -nw get only information about network settings
    -od get only information about optical drive
    -os get only information about operating system
    -pc get only information about patches
    -pf get only information about pagefile
    -ph get only information about PnP hardware problem
    -pt get only information about printer
    -rl get only information about role of system
    -rt get only information about persistent IP4 routing table
    -sv get only information about services
    -sw get only information about installed software
    -tz get only information about timezone
    -vc get only information about video controller

If you set only -ee then all errors of last 7 days will be enumerated!
Otherwise set parameter [d] for days and [id] for event id.

If argument [-master -slaves <n>] is not given then sequential
mode will be used automatically!

Each slave process takes around 6 MB of memory!

System list file for parameter -i may contain only one name or ip address
in each line of the appropriate system.

Output will be written to folder Output where SIC2.exe was started and to a
separate folder named Run_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.

Output format is a semicolon separeted text file (*.csv) in Ouput's subfolder.


Prio parameter can be from 0-3: Idle, Below Normal, Normal and Above Normal



Examples:

Parallel run:
SIC2.exe -i list.txt -all -zip -master -slaves 25
SIC2.exe -i list.txt -os -nw -hw -master -slaves 15
SIC2.exe -i list.txt -ee 5 7000 -di -sw -od -master -prio 1

Sequential run:
SIC2.exe -i list.txt -all
SIC2.exe -i list.txt -el -pc -tz -ms -od -rt -zip
SIC2.exe -i list.txt -ee 7 -sw -prio 2

~~If I have more time I will code a GUI for SIC2 because without a GUI many people will not use it!~~

-> Done! SIC2 GUI download here: SIC2_GUI.7z (10 downloads of previous versions)

Please post any criticism, if you like it or not!

I discovered coincidentally that also TrendMicro has a tool with the name SIC.

Should I rename my tools, in order to avoid legal problems?

Did someone already make such experiences?

Thanks,

Hello,

thanks for this software, I try to run it, but I have always the file is empty, why?

UEZ · November 17, 2011

Wow, after nearly 3 years a reply!

How did you run it? In the CMD line or via the GUI? Is there a Errors.csv file in the output folder? If yes, what is the content?

I need more information otherwise I cannot say what might be wrong!

Br,

UEZ

Edited November 17, 2011 by UEZ

ricky · November 17, 2011

Yes, because i'm looking for a script to give me the serial number of the HDD, and there is nothing in the forum...

I execute by the GUi, and with the command line, I have the same problem :

I execute this : SIC2.exe -i list.txt -all

And in the prompt I have : File list.txt is empty!

No csv file.

UEZ · November 17, 2011

What is the content of list.txt? list.txt must contain ip addresses or host names (one per line)!

Further, as far as I can remember there is no option to read the s/n of the HDD but maybe I can add it...

Br,

UEZ

Local $objWMIService = $objWMILocator.ConnectServer($host, "rootcimv2", $usr, $pass, "", "", "&H80")

This might need to be:

Local $objWMIService = $objWMILocator.ConnectServer($host, "rootcimv2", $usr, $pass, Default, Default, 128)

&H80 is the way VBScript does Hex Numbers, so for AutoIt, it would be 0x80, which is the same number as 128. I've used it with success along with ConnectServer.

If you want, I have a little software in C with source who give this information.

I can speak German, Turkish and English but not C/C++

But I can try!

I asume if you want to enumerate only on local PC, not remotely, then the s/n can be read out of a build-in DLL (e.g. kernel32.dll)!
