gopsutil: psutil for golang

Test Coverage Status Go Reference Go Documentation Calendar Versioning

This is a port of psutil (https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil). The challenge is porting all psutil functions on some architectures.

v3 migration

From v3.20.10, gopsutil becomes v3 which breaks backwards compatibility. See v3Changes.md for more detailed changes.

Tag semantics

gopsutil tag policy is almost same as Semantic Versioning, but automatically increases like Ubuntu versioning.

For example, v2.17.04 means

  • v2: major version
  • 17: release year, 2017
  • 04: release month

gopsutil aims to keep backwards compatibility until major version change.

Tagged at every end of month, but if there are only a few commits, it can be skipped.

Available Architectures

  • FreeBSD i386/amd64/arm
  • Linux i386/amd64/arm(raspberry pi)
  • Windows i386/amd64/arm/arm64
  • Darwin amd64/arm64
  • OpenBSD amd64 (Thank you @mpfz0r!)
  • Solaris amd64 (developed and tested on SmartOS/Illumos, Thank you @jen20!)

These have partial support:

  • CPU on DragonFly BSD (#893, Thank you @gballet!)
  • host on Linux RISC-V (#896, Thank you @tklauser!)

All works are implemented without cgo by porting C structs to golang structs.

Usage

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/shirou/gopsutil/v3/mem"
    // "github.com/shirou/gopsutil/mem"  // to use v2
)

func main() {
    v, _ := mem.VirtualMemory()

    // almost every return value is a struct
    fmt.Printf("Total: %v, Free:%v, UsedPercent:%f%%\n", v.Total, v.Free, v.UsedPercent)

    // convert to JSON. String() is also implemented
    fmt.Println(v)
}

The output is below.

Total: 3179569152, Free:284233728, UsedPercent:84.508194%
{"total":3179569152,"available":492572672,"used":2895335424,"usedPercent":84.50819439828305, (snip...)}

You can set an alternative location to /proc by setting the HOST_PROC environment variable.

You can set an alternative location to /sys by setting the HOST_SYS environment variable.

You can set an alternative location to /etc by setting the HOST_ETC environment variable.

You can set an alternative location to /var by setting the HOST_VAR environment variable.

You can set an alternative location to /run by setting the HOST_RUN environment variable.

You can set an alternative location to /dev by setting the HOST_DEV environment variable.

You can set an alternative location to /proc/N/mountinfo by setting the HOST_PROC_MOUNTINFO environment variable.

Some code is ported from Ohai. many thanks.
