Great tutorial. You could also analyze sar report to get charts and aggregated data. For that we can follow https://github.com/sumitbiswasgit/sarbox

@Mark,

Thanks for informing about that error, yes it was actually “safd” command. Corrected in the article.

I hesitate to comment on an old post but I did notice that on 20. Using ‘sadf’ the example for some reasons shows the cmd as ‘safd’ so initially I thought I didn’t have the package available. Otherwise very useful post.

Hi Sayyad,
8.1.5 seems quit old and at same time it was not stable release.
I would suggest to update the same and check results.

Hi Kuldeep,

Thanks for the good info on SAR..,Not sure if this is a right platform to talk about problem with Sar version 8.1.5.
One of the issues with sar is that the “sar -A” command gives the datestamp exactly past one month in the first line of the output..
Any suggestion/help would be much appreciated..

Thanks,
-Sayyad
