Hi,
I have set up sar on my RedHat and Fedora Linux systems. I am running sa1 from cron:
The 1200 and 3 parameters tell sa1 to save data every 1200 seconds (== 20 minutes) and to write 3 times.
When I run sar to observe my data, I'll see something like this:
...What gives? Why is it reporting data every 10 minutes? How come I only see 1 entry every 10 minutes, and not 3? I'm confused...
Hi all, does anyone know what is the relationship between sa1 and sa2? Apparently both have to be included to make reporting work. If you include only 1, let's say sa2, the file is created but there's no content inside. Can someone shed some light and also provide examples of sa1 and sa2? Thanks a... (0 Replies)

Hi,
I want to generate gnuplot graph from sar data. My problem is the time format.
1- Gnuplot doesn't support the sar format (01:00:59 AM/PM)
2- Sar doesn't provide a switch to choose the format. The only way to do it is by exporting LANG=fr_FR.

Hi guys and gals...
I am writing a piece of code that is dash compliant and came across this error.

sadc
sadc(8) BSD System Manager's Manual sadc(8)NAME
sadc -- system activity data collector
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/sa/sadc [-m mode] [t n] [ofile]
DESCRIPTION
The sadc tool is used to collect cumulative system activity data. The sample system data is collected at intervals t seconds apart, in a
loop n times. The binary sample data is written to ofile if specified. Otherwise, the binary data is written to stdout. If the ofile file
does not exist, it is created, otherwise it is truncated.
sadc is intended to be used as the engine behind the sar(1) command, and is not typically invoked on the command line. Two shell scripts,
sa1 and sa2, are provided to drive the typical sampling, saving, and reporting process.
OPTIONS
The following options modify the way data is collected by sadc.
-m mode Modify the collection of system statistics as specified by mode. Currently only one mode is supported.
PPP By default, the collection of ppp network interface statistics is turned off. This is because the number of ppp connec-
tions can be very high, causing the raw data file to grow unexpectedly large, especially when samples are collected at
short intervals. Use the PPP mode to turn the collection back on.
EXAMPLES
/usr/lib/sa/sadc 15 20 /tmp/sample.out
This call collects 20 samples at 15 second intervals. The binary data is written to the /tmp/sample.out file
FILES
/var/log/sa/sadd Default daily activity file that holds the binary sampling data. dd are digits that represent the day of the month.
/usr/lib/sa/sa1 Shell script used to drive the sar data collection.
/usr/lib/sa/sa2 Shell script used to drive the sar data reporting.
