psutil for golang

gopsutil: psutil for golang

This is a port of psutil (http://pythonhosted.org/psutil/). The challenge is porting all psutil functions on some architectures...

Package Structure Changed!

Package (a.k.a. directory) structure has been changed!! see issue 24

golang 1.4 will become REQUIRED!

Since syscall package becomes frozen, we should use golang/x/sys of golang 1.4 as soon as possible.

Available Architectures

• FreeBSD i386/amd64
• Linux i386/amd64/arm(raspberry pi)
• Windows/amd64
• Darwin/amd64

All works are implemented without cgo by porting c struct to golang struct.

Usage

import (
     "fmt"

     "github.com/shirou/gopsutil/mem"
)

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)}

More Info

Several methods have been added which are not present in psutil, but will provide useful information.

• host/HostInfo() (linux)
  • Hostname
  • Uptime
  • Procs
  • OS (ex: "linux")
  • Platform (ex: "ubuntu", "arch")
  • PlatformFamily (ex: "debian")
  • PlatformVersion (ex: "Ubuntu 13.10")
  • VirtualizationSystem (ex: "LXC")
  • VirtualizationRole (ex: "guest"/"host")
• cpu/CPUInfo() (linux, freebsd)
  • CPU (ex: 0, 1, ...)
  • VendorID (ex: "GenuineIntel")
  • Family
  • Model
  • Stepping
  • PhysicalID
  • CoreID
  • Cores (ex: 2)
  • ModelName (ex: "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2640M CPU @ 2.80GHz")
  • Mhz
  • CacheSize
  • Flags (ex: "fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 ...")
• load/LoadAvg() (linux, freebsd)
  • Load1
  • Load5
  • Load15
• docker/GetDockerIDList() (linux only)
  • container id list ([]string)
• docker/CgroupCPU() (linux only)
  • user
  • system
• docker/CgroupMem() (linux only)
  • various status

Some codes are ported from Ohai. many thanks.
