How to implement file monitoring in golang

golanggo language

In golang, you can use fsnotify to implement file monitoring. fsnotify is a cross-platform file system monitoring tool in the Go language, which implements a channel-based, cross-platform real-time monitoring interface; golang can monitor files through fsnotify and restart the program through file changes.

How to implement file monitoring in golang

The operating environment of this tutorial: Windows 10 system, GO version 1.18, Dell G3 computer.

In golang, you can use fsnotify to implement file monitoring.

golang monitors files through fsnotify and restarts the program through file changes.

Go language cross-platform file system monitoring tool - fsnotify

In the Linux kernel, Inotify is a tool used to notify users Mechanism of spatial program file system changes. It monitors file system changes, such as file creation, modification, deletion, etc., and can notify applications of corresponding events.

Inotify can monitor both files and directories. When monitoring a directory, it can monitor the directory and each subdirectory and file in the directory at the same time. Golang's standard library syscall implements this mechanism.

In order to further expand and abstract, the github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify package implements a channel-based, cross-platform real-time monitoring interface.

Usage of fsnotify tool

1. Download the packages we need

go get github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify

2. Use fsnotify to monitor files

How to implement file monitoring in golang

All our operations in the tmp directory were captured, but there is a problem with fsnotify. It cannot help us capture subdirectories recursively. The operation events of the Sun Tzu directory need to be implemented by ourselves.

Another problem is that when we modify the folder name, the event.Name in fsnotify is still the original file name. This requires us to first remove the previous monitoring in the rename event, and then add New monitoring.

Modify as follows:

After the above example, we use fsnotify to write a monitoring configuration file. If the configuration file is modified, the service will be restarted.

We first write an exe program that can be run. The server.go code is as follows:

As you can see from the above picture, When we modify the port number in the configuration file, the process will be killed first and then a process will be started.

The Performance Race: Golang vs. CThe Performance Race: Golang vs. CApr 16, 2025 am 12:07 AM

Golang and C each have their own advantages in performance competitions: 1) Golang is suitable for high concurrency and rapid development, and 2) C provides higher performance and fine-grained control. The selection should be based on project requirements and team technology stack.

Golang vs. C  : Code Examples and Performance AnalysisGolang vs. C : Code Examples and Performance AnalysisApr 15, 2025 am 12:03 AM

Golang is suitable for rapid development and concurrent programming, while C is more suitable for projects that require extreme performance and underlying control. 1) Golang's concurrency model simplifies concurrency programming through goroutine and channel. 2) C's template programming provides generic code and performance optimization. 3) Golang's garbage collection is convenient but may affect performance. C's memory management is complex but the control is fine.

C   and Golang: When Performance is CrucialC and Golang: When Performance is CrucialApr 13, 2025 am 12:11 AM

C is more suitable for scenarios where direct control of hardware resources and high performance optimization is required, while Golang is more suitable for scenarios where rapid development and high concurrency processing are required. 1.C's advantage lies in its close to hardware characteristics and high optimization capabilities, which are suitable for high-performance needs such as game development. 2.Golang's advantage lies in its concise syntax and natural concurrency support, which is suitable for high concurrency service development.

Golang in Action: Real-World Examples and ApplicationsGolang in Action: Real-World Examples and ApplicationsApr 12, 2025 am 12:11 AM

Golang excels in practical applications and is known for its simplicity, efficiency and concurrency. 1) Concurrent programming is implemented through Goroutines and Channels, 2) Flexible code is written using interfaces and polymorphisms, 3) Simplify network programming with net/http packages, 4) Build efficient concurrent crawlers, 5) Debugging and optimizing through tools and best practices.

Golang: The Go Programming Language ExplainedGolang: The Go Programming Language ExplainedApr 10, 2025 am 11:18 AM

The core features of Go include garbage collection, static linking and concurrency support. 1. The concurrency model of Go language realizes efficient concurrent programming through goroutine and channel. 2. Interfaces and polymorphisms are implemented through interface methods, so that different types can be processed in a unified manner. 3. The basic usage demonstrates the efficiency of function definition and call. 4. In advanced usage, slices provide powerful functions of dynamic resizing. 5. Common errors such as race conditions can be detected and resolved through getest-race. 6. Performance optimization Reuse objects through sync.Pool to reduce garbage collection pressure.

Golang's Purpose: Building Efficient and Scalable SystemsGolang's Purpose: Building Efficient and Scalable SystemsApr 09, 2025 pm 05:17 PM

Go language performs well in building efficient and scalable systems. Its advantages include: 1. High performance: compiled into machine code, fast running speed; 2. Concurrent programming: simplify multitasking through goroutines and channels; 3. Simplicity: concise syntax, reducing learning and maintenance costs; 4. Cross-platform: supports cross-platform compilation, easy deployment.
