Retrieving hardware information for a Dedicated Server

Learn how to retrieve hardware information (i.e. disk size, RAM, number of cores, and motherboard details) for a Dedicated Server.

Requirements

• a Dedicated Server in your OVHcloud account
• access to the OVHcloud API

Instructions

From the OVHcloud API, navigate to the /dedicated/server section.

List the internal name of all your dedicated servers:

GET /dedicated/server

Example Output:

[
  "ns1234567.ip-123-456-789.us"
]

Retrieve hardware information about a specific dedicated server using this call:

GET /dedicated/server/{serviceName}/specifications/hardware

Example Output:

    bootMode: "uefi"
    threadsPerProcessor: 16

    diskGroups: [
        -
        {
