gops is a command-line tool from Google that lists all Go processes running on a system and diagnoses them. Processes that embed the gops agent expose extra diagnostics such as stack traces, memory stats, CPU usage, and Go version.

Use cases

  • list all Go processes running on my machine
  • get a stack trace of a running Go program
  • check memory and CPU usage of a Go process
  • find which Go version a binary was built with
  • capture heap and CPU profiles from a live Go process
  • diagnose a hung Go application in production

When to choose

  • you operate or debug Go applications on a system
  • you want lightweight runtime diagnostics without a full APM setup
  • you need quick stack, memory, or profile inspection of Go processes

When to avoid

  • you need to diagnose non-Go processes
  • you require long-term metrics storage, dashboards, or alerting
  • you cannot modify the target program to embed the agent and need deep diagnostics
