seems to be a lshw -json bug: when using JSONLint i get this:

Error: Parse error on line 24:
...-bit processes" } { "id": "core",
----------------------^
Expecting 'EOF', '}', ',', ']', got '{

can't we do a scrap off the capabilities part before passing this to the json decoder ? we don't need this part

what os/distro are you using ?
I don't have the problem on Ubuntu 12.04 -> 18.04 and Debian 10

Found this:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=929206

i have lots of servers, but this server is Debian 10 buster with lshw:

lshw:
Installed: 02.18.85-0.3
Candidate: 02.18.85-0.3
Versionstabelle:

i did manually copy over lshw from another system where it works (debian9) - need to find the working version or just copy the file then i do a install script for the agent
