OSHI is a free JNA-based (native) Operating System and Hardware Information library for Java. It does not require the installation of any additional native libraries and aims to provide a cross-platform implementation to retrieve system information, such as OS version, processes, memory & CPU usage, disks & partitions, devices, sensors, etc.
Windows • Linux • macOS • Unix (Solaris, FreeBSD)

Include OSHI and its dependencies on your classpath. We strongly recommend you add OSHI as a dependency to your project dependency manager such as Maven or Gradle. You can find the appropriate syntax to include OSHI here.
Create a new instance of SystemInfo
and use the getters to access additional information, such as:
SystemInfo si = new SystemInfo();
HardwareAbstractionLayer hal = si.getHardware();
CentralProcessor cpu = hal.getProcessor();
You can see more examples and run the SystemInfoTest and see the full output for your system by cloning the project and building it with Maven:
git clone https://github.com/oshi/oshi.git && cd oshi
./mvnw test-compile -pl oshi-core exec:java \
-Dexec.mainClass="oshi.SystemInfoTest" \
-Dexec.classpathScope="test"
Note: OSHI uses the latest version of JNA, which may conflict with other dependencies your project (or its parent) includes. If you experience issues with NoClassDefFound
errors for JNA artifacts, consider one or more of the following steps to resolve the conflict:
- Listing OSHI earlier (or first) in your dependency list
- Specifying the most recent version of JNA (both
jna
andjna-platform
artifacts) as a dependency - If you are using a parent (e.g., Spring Boot) that includes JNA as a dependency, override the
jna.version
property or equivalent
Available as part of the Tidelift Subscription
The maintainers of OSHI and thousands of other packages are working with Tidelift to deliver commercial support and maintenance for the open source dependencies you use to build your applications. Save time, reduce risk, and improve code health, while paying the maintainers of the exact dependencies you use. Learn more.
To report a security vulnerability, please use the Tidelift security contact. Tidelift will coordinate the fix and disclosure.
OSHI provides output directly via Java methods for each of its interfaces.
By periodically polling dynamic information (e.g., every second), users can calculate and track changes.
The main()
method of SystemInfoTest
provides sample code demonstrating the use of oshi-core
interfaces to retrieve information and calculate additional metrics shown in the examples below.
In addition, the oshi-demo
project includes an OshiGui class implementing a basic Swing GUI offering suggestions for potential visualizations using OSHI in a UI, monitoring, or alerting application, as shown below:
General information about the operating system and computer system hardware:
By measuring ticks (user, nice, system, idle, iowait, and irq) between time intervals, percent usage can be calculated.
Per-processor information is also provided.
Process information including CPU and memory per process is available.
Memory and swapfile information is available.

OSHI originated as a platform-independent library that did not require additional software and had a license compatible with both open source and commercial products. We have developed a strong core of features on major Operating Systems, but we would love for you to help by:
- Testing! Our CI testing is limited. Download and test the program on various operating systems/versions and hardware and help identify gaps that our limited development and testing may have missed.
- Offering access to an unsupported OS.
- Contributing code. See something that's not working right or could work better? Help us fix it! New contributors welcome.
- Contributing ports. Have an OS that's not covered? It's likely one of the existing ports can be slightly modified.
- Documenting implementation. Our Wiki is sparse. Want to help new users follow in your footsteps?
- Suggesting new features. Do you need OSHI to do something it doesn't currently do? Let us know.
