First tutorial for PET

1. 1 - System information tutorial
1 - create a new profile for the systemwide information:
- Click on 'new profile' (top center screen)
- name your profile “system information”
- select the newly created profile (top center screen - select profile box)
2 - Add relevant modules to the profile
- switch to the 'Modules' tab
- click on 'add new modules' (bottom left)
- Select multiple modules (OSX: command-click; Windows: Control click)
as illustrated on the right
3 - Run a ‘snapshot’ and see the results
- click on 'Snapshot' button (bottom left)
- wait for the snapshot to complete
- Open the ‘environment information’ tab
- click on ‘expand tree’
At this point, the extracted information will be shown, as in the screenshot
below. Please note that multiple extractions will store different snapshots.
4 - Where is the data stored?
- Open the PET/PET_data folder
- 3 folders contain the logs, current configuration (including templates, profiles), and the
extracted metadata
- All files are plain text files, in JSON format
- There is ongoing work to bring this data into standard schema (using the LRM that Pericles is
developing and other standard ontologies).
