ChromeOS System Report
ChromeOS does not have a simple way to record a system's configuration. The following will get the information similar to Belarc Advisor (https://www.belarc.com/products/belarc-advisor).
The resulting mhtml file is fairly useless, but can be parsed using the included script. Additionally, we can save it as a pdf, meaning it is viewable on most systems.
- Open Chrome web browser
- Enter URL as chrome://system
- Click “Expand All”
- Right click in page (use two fingers if no mouse)
- Select “Save As”
- Choose Webpage, Single File (default)
- name the file your_nameChrome.mhtml, so in my case, it would be RodChrome.mhtml
- Save in your downloads folder
- Right click again
- Choose Print (it will hang for a minute or two)
- Choose Save as PDF
- Save as your_nameChrome.pdf (ie, RodChrome.pdf)
You now have two large files in your downloads folder, and mhtml file and a PDF. The following Perl script parses the mhtml file, using ====CATEGORY==== as headers, with the contents afterwards. I have written it to NOT include the logs. Use the command:
./parseChrome.pl < your_name_Chrome.mthml > your_nameChrome.txt
