SUSE 11.4 sar monitoring not run by default.
Hi,
I had installed sysstat package below on a SUSE 11.4 box. I can see the sysstat cron file listed under the directory /etc/sysstat. However, it looks like the sysstat sar monitor is never run at all and the daily sar files are not created under the directory /var/log/sa. The cron daemon is also running. Am I missing something? Below is my configuration and file listing
# cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 11.4 (i586)
VERSION = 11.4
CODENAME = Celadon
#rpm -qa | grep -i sysstat
sysstat-9.0.6.1-13.1.i586
# ls -lrt /etc/sysstat/
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6228 Feb 19 00:27 sysstat.ioconf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 282 Feb 19 00:27 sysstat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 387 Feb 19 00:27 sysstat.cron

NAME
sa2 - Write a daily report in the /var/log/sa directory.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib64/sa/sa2
DESCRIPTION
The sa2 command is a shell procedure variant of the sar command which writes a daily report in the /var/log/sa/sardd file, where the dd
parameter indicates the current day. The sa2 command handles all of the flags and parameters of the sar command.
The sa2 command is designed to be started automatically by the cron command.
EXAMPLES
To run the sa2 command daily, place the following entry in your root or adm crontab file:
5 19 * * 1-5 /usr/lib64/sa/sa2 -A &
This will generate a daily report called /var/log/sa/sardd It will also remove reports more than one week old.
FILES
/var/log/sa/sardd
Indicate the daily report file, where the dd parameter is a number representing the day of the month.
