SIGAR (System Information Gatherer And Reporter) is a cross-platform C library for collecting system information such as CPU, memory, disk, network interfaces, and process details. It provides bindings for use from languages like Java, Python, and Ruby.

Use cases

  • get cpu and memory usage from a cross-platform app
  • collect network interface stats in a monitoring agent
  • query disk and filesystem information programmatically
  • gather system metrics for a server dashboard
  • inspect running processes and their resource usage

When to choose

  • you need a mature native library for system metrics across Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • you want language bindings on top of a single C core
  • you are building a monitoring agent or system inventory tool

When to avoid

  • you need actively developed features or modern platform support
  • you prefer a pure-language solution without native dependencies
  • you only target a single OS and can use its native APIs
