A method for acquiring and monitoring hardware data of a computer system is disclosed, which executes a hardware monitoring program to acquire data of selected hardware device from an associated input/output port of the computer system. The method includes reading an user interface definition file by the hardware monitoring program, the user interface definition file containing a number of pre-defined input/output device control sections each containing execution functions and set parameters of each particular input/output device; and the hardware monitoring program communicating with the input/output device via an input/output control file, the input/output control file performing functions of "open input/output port", "read input/output port" and "write input/output port" to access the input/output port in order to acquire the data of the input/output device of the computer system.
