System Information
The system information inspectors are particularly useful for identifying attributes of the running operating system.
Hardware
There is a large number of properties of the underlying hardware that you can query.
You can start with processor information:
- Q: vendor names of processors
 - A: GenuineIntel
 - A: GenuineIntel
 - A: GenuineIntel
 - A: GenuineIntel
 
You see that the query returns several identical entries even on a single processor systems. That is because each CPU core is referenced as its own processor.
You can collapse these identical results into a single one using the unique values inspector, like this:
- Q: unique values of vendor names of processors
 - A: GenuineIntel
 
Continuing, you can reference the speed of the processors:
- Q: speeds of processors
 - A: 2600000000 hertz
 - A: 2600000000 hertz
 - A: 2600000000 hertz
 - A: 2600000000 hertz
 
And the name:
- Q: family names of processors
 - A: Core i7-3720QM
 - A: Core i7-3720QM
 - A: Core i7-3720QM
 - A: Core i7-3720QM
 
Operating System
You can pull the name of the operating system:
- Q: name of operating system
 - A: Mac OS X
 
- Q: name of operating system
 - A: Win2008R2
 
Or the version:
- Q: (name of it, version of it) of operating system
 - A: Mac OS X, 10.9.5
 
- Q: (name of it, version of it) of operating system
 - A: Win2008R2, 6.1.7601
 
You can also pull the architecture:
- Q: (name of it, architecture of it) of operating system
 - A: Mac OS X, x86_64
 
- Q: (name of it, architecture of it) of operating system
 - A: Win2008R2, 6.1.7601
 
There are simple ways to determine the OS of an endpoint without having to do string comparisons:
- Q: windows of operating system
 - A: False
 
- Q: unix of operating system
 - A: False
 
- Q: mac of operating system
 - A: True
 
On Windows systems you can also query the service pack version:
- Q: service pack major version of operating system
 - A: 1
 
Finally you can query uptime
- Q: uptime of operating system
 - A: 28 days, 20:20:22.496818
 
Drives
You can also query information related to mounted disk drives.
On a Mac systems:
- Q: free space of volume "Macintosh HD"
 - A: 402534928384
 
On Windows systems:
- Q: (free spaces of it, names of it) of drives
 - A: 53851201536, C:
