Hi, we’d like to get the hardware API client (hwctl) to work within snap confinement. We have updated how the CLI collects hardware and OS information within snap confinement, but it needs the following interfaces to auto-connect:
- name: hwctl
- description:
hwctlis ahwlibbacked command-line tool for collecting and sending hardware information to hwapi to determine the Ubuntu hardware certification status of a machine - snapcraft: hardware-api/client/snapcraft.yaml at main · canonical/hardware-api · GitHub
- upstream: GitHub - canonical/hardware-api: API server, library, and CLI tool for retrieving hardware information
- upstream-relation: developer
- interfaces:
- hardware-observe:
- request-type: auto-connection
- reasoning: The application needs to detect the hardware and components to check the certification status
- kernel-module-observe:
- request-type: auto-connection
- reasoning: The certification status also depends on the kernel that we have tested on
- system-observe:
- request-type: auto-connection
- reasoning: The operating system release and details are also needed to check the certification status
- hardware-observe:
This application is developed by the Certification team to detect the certification status of a user’s hardware, operating system, and configuration.
We are also working towards integrating this information into the Security Center application: Mattermost.
