Hi Martin,

first of all, thank you for the great software! I made a donation to support.

While reading the forum on how to activate auto-logging at startup I noticed there have already been several similar requests/questions:

https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/Thread-Running-HWiNFO-from-a-script-to-autolog
https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/Thread-Sensor-Auto-Log-Setting-Location
https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/Thread-Auto-logging

https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/threads/logging-question.6956/
https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/threads/auto-start-for-a-standard-user-account.6963/

Would it be possible to put this feature on the to-do list? Should you decide to implement it, also think about the rotation configuration for the log files.

Many thanks

I'm sorry, but this feature is intentionally not implemented.
Fully automated monitoring/reporting is reserved for the HWiNFO SDK, which is a commercial product.

Thanks for you donation !
 
Fair enough.

But could you then point me to the product(s) that use the HWInfo SDK? I'm looking for exactly what you said - fully automated monitoring/reporting.
 
Those products are quite different and each is using the sensors data in a different manner. So it depends on your requirements.
If you're interested in the SDK then please contact me directly via e-mail.
 
I'm primarily interested in monitoring temperatures (CPU, PCH, HDDs) plus SMART information from the HDDs with automatic logging and alarming.

HWInfo64 has everything I need except for 2 pieces that touch upon the automation:

1) It lacks the proper Windows service mode in order to be able to start without any users logged on.
2) Auto-logging at startup.

Now, if you say such features are not implemented intentionally in the free product, I understand that. But can you then suggest a commercial offering where they are implemented?

I'm not interested in the SDK.

Thanks.
 
I'm sorry, but I'm not aware of such a commercial product.
Most of them are quite specific for a given project.
 
Hi Martin,

just wanted to check whether there are any updates on this, e.g. whether you're still considering to add these features (potentially in a paid version)?

I've also updated the top post by links to two new threads by other users requesting the same functionality.

Thanks
 
Yes, this is still under consideration as part of a potential paid "Pro" version.
It's becoming more and more difficult to keep the current free model to cover the increasing effort and direct/indirect costs involved.
