gopsutil is a Go port of Python's psutil library for retrieving system information such as CPU, memory, disk, network, and process metrics. It is implemented without cgo by porting C structs to Go, and supports Linux, Windows, macOS, BSD variants, and Solaris.
Use cases
- get cpu and memory usage in a go program
- monitor system processes from go
- collect disk and network stats for a monitoring agent
- build a system metrics exporter in golang
- read host information without cgo
- query virtual memory usage cross-platform
When to choose
- you need psutil-like system metrics in a Go application
- you want a pure-Go solution with no cgo dependency
- you need cross-platform support including Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD
- you are building monitoring agents or exporters
When to avoid
- you need psutil in Python rather than Go
- you need metrics on an unsupported architecture
- you need deep low-level kernel instrumentation beyond psutil's scope
