# mozsystemmonitor — Monitor system resource usage.

License: copyleft · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 418.3K/mo

## 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.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Monitors system resource usage by wrapping psutil, primarily for Mozilla testing and automation workflows.

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.

## Install

pip install mozsystemmonitor
uv add mozsystemmonitor
poetry add mozsystemmonitor

## Installing mozsystemmonitor

Before you install: 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.

License in practice: Licensed under MPL 2.0 (copyleft), which requires derivative works and modifications to be distributed under the same license; acceptable for internal use but imposes obligations if you redistribute.

Quickstart:

pip install mozsystemmonitor
import mozsystemmonitor
# See https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/mozbase/index.html for usage details

Package is abandoned with no active maintenance. Classifiers list Python 2.7 and 3.5 support only.

Verify before relying:

- Exact API surface and method signatures; refer to Mozilla documentation.
- Whether psutil version constraints exist or if any version of psutil works.
- Current compatibility with Python versions beyond those listed in classifiers.
