gopsutil: psutil for golang
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 /
by setting the HOST_ROOT
environment variable.
You can set an alternative location to /proc/N/mountinfo
by setting the
HOST_PROC_MOUNTINFO
environment variable.
context
(from v3.23.6)
Adding settings using As of v3.23.6, it is now possible to pass a path location using context
: import "github.com/shirou/gopsutil/v3/common"
and pass a context with common.EnvMap
set to common.EnvKey
, and the location will be used within each function.
ctx := context.WithValue(context.Background(),
common.EnvKey, common.EnvMap{common.HostProcEnvKey: "/myproc"},
)
v, err := mem.VirtualMemoryWithContext(ctx)
First priority is given to the value set in context
, then the value from the environment variable, and finally the default location.

Requirements
- go1.16 or above is required.

Some code is ported from Ohai. Many thanks.
