About:
Gops is a command-line tool that lists all running Go processes on a system and allows you to inspect them. It leverages the native Go diagnostics agent to provide insights into process behavior, including stack traces, memory stats, and version information. This utility is essential for developers debugging complex Go applications or monitoring resource usage in production environments.
Key Features:
  • Lists all Go processes with their PID and agent status
  • Supports stack trace and memory profiling of running processes
  • Provides process-specific details like Go version and build info
  • Includes a built-in agent for custom process communication
Use Cases:
  • Debugging stuck or high-latency Go services in production
  • Auditing running Go applications to identify versions and dependencies
  • Performing live memory and CPU analysis on Go processes
Alternatives:
  • pprof – Gops is a discovery and diagnostics tool, while pprof is primarily for analyzing profiling data.
  • ps – Standard 'ps' shows generic process info; Gops provides deep, Go-specific internal state.
