mozsystemmonitor
Monitor system resource usage.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are maintaining legacy Mozilla automation code that already depends on it. The package is abandoned and receives no updates. For new projects, use psutil directly or a modern, maintained monitoring library instead.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Package is abandoned with no active maintenance.
- Classifiers list Python 2.7 and 3.5 support only.
- Low install friction with a pure Python wheel, but the package is abandoned—no updates or maintenance since its last release over 1369 days ago.

What it is and what it does
mozsystemmonitor is a lightweight wrapper around psutil that collects system resource metrics for monitoring purposes. It was developed as part of Mozilla's mozbase testing toolkit and is primarily used in Mozilla's automation and testing infrastructure.
The package has been abandoned and receives no active maintenance. It lists Python 2.7 and 3.5 in its classifiers. While it has low install friction (pure Python wheel with only psutil as a dependency), adopting it in new projects carries significant risk: you will not receive bug fixes, security patches, or compatibility updates.
Use it for
- Monitor system resource usage in Mozilla test automation and CI/CD pipelines.
- Collect baseline CPU, memory, and disk metrics during performance testing.
- Track resource consumption in long-running test suites to detect regressions.
- Integrate system monitoring into Mozilla's mozbase testing framework.
