How to monitor OS information on a Linux host?

Path Finder

I was doing a search on how to monitor OS level information on different hosts. I found an answer that provided adding the stanza below will pull info for a Windows host, but does anyone know what you need to do to pull the same info on a Linux host?

[WinHostMon://os]
 interval = -1
 type = operatingSystem

Thanks
