gops is a command to list and diagnose Go processes currently running on your system.
$ gops
983 980 uplink-soecks go1.9 /usr/local/bin/uplink-soecks
52697 52695 gops go1.10 /Users/jbd/bin/gops
4132 4130 foops * go1.9 /Users/jbd/bin/foops
51130 51128 gocode go1.9.2 /Users/jbd/bin/gocodeTo install the latest version of gops:
$ go get github.com/google/gopsor
$ go install github.com/google/gops@latestTo install a specific gops version, for example v0.3.19:
$ go install github.com/google/gops@v0.3.19For processes that start the diagnostics agent, gops can report additional information such as the current stack trace, Go version, memory stats, etc.
In order to start the diagnostics agent, see the hello example.
package main
import (
"log"
"time"
"github.com/google/gops/agent"
)
func main() {
if err := agent.Listen(agent.Options{}); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
time.Sleep(time.Hour)
}Otherwise, you could set GOPS_CONFIG_DIR environment variables to assign your config dir.
Default, gops will use the current user's home directory(AppData on windows).
It is possible to use gops tool both in local and remote mode.
Local mode requires that you start the target binary as the same user that runs gops binary. To use gops in a remote mode you need to know target's agent address.
In Local mode use process's PID as a target; in Remote mode target is a host:port combination.
To print all go processes, run gops without arguments:
$ gops
983 980 uplink-soecks go1.9 /usr/local/bin/uplink-soecks
52697 52695 gops go1.10 /Users/jbd/bin/gops
4132 4130 foops * go1.9 /Users/jbd/bin/foops
51130 51128 gocode go1.9.2 /Users/jbd/bin/gocodeThe output displays:
- PID
- PPID
- Name of the program
- Go version used to build the program
- Location of the associated program
Note that processes running the agent are marked with * next to the PID (e.g. 4132*).
To report more information about a process, run gops followed by a PID:
$ gops <pid>
parent PID: 5985
threads: 27
memory usage: 0.199%
cpu usage: 0.139%

time.ParseDuration, the CPU
usage for the given time period is reported in addition:
$ gops <pid> 2s

threads: 27
memory usage: 0.199%
cpu usage: 0.139%

# ...To print the current memory stats, run the following command:
$ gops memstats (<pid>|<addr>)If you want to force run garbage collection on the target program, run gc.
It will block until the GC is completed.
Sets the garbage collection target to a certain percentage. The following command sets it to 10%:
$ gops setgc (<pid>|<addr>) 10The following command turns off the garbage collector:
$ gops setgc (<pid>|<addr>) offgops reports the Go version the target program is built with, if you run the following:
$ gops version (<pid>|<addr>)
devel +6a3c6c0 Sat Jan 14 05:57:07 2017 +0000To print the runtime statistics such as number of goroutines and GOMAXPROCS.
gops supports CPU and heap pprof profiles. After reading either heap or CPU profile,
it shells out to the go tool pprof and let you interactively examine the profiles.
To enter the CPU profile, run:
$ gops pprof-cpu (<pid>|<addr>)To enter the heap profile, run:
$ gops pprof-heap (<pid>|<addr>)gops allows you to start the runtime tracer for 5 seconds and examine the results.
$ gops trace (<pid>|<addr>)
