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
