Unix command to collect, report or save system activity information
Called regularly by cron, sadc does the monitoring and stores its measurements to files in the /var/log/sa/ folder. The sar client can be used to explore this data.System Activity Report (sar
) is a Unix System V-derived system monitor command used to report on various system loads, including CPU activity, memory/paging, interrupts, device load, network and swap space utilization. Sar uses /proc
filesystem for gathering information.[2]
Sar was originally developed for the Unix System V operating system; it is available in AIX, HP-UX, Solaris and other System V based operating systems but it is not available for macOS or FreeBSD. Prior to 2013 there was a bsdsar
tool, but it is now deprecated.[3]
Most Linux distributions provide sar
utility through the sysstat
package.
sar [-flags] [ -e time ] [ -f filename ] [-i sec ] [ -s time ]
[user@localhost]$ sar # Displays current CPU activity.
Additional to sar
command, Linux sysstat package in Debian,[4] RedHat Enterprise Linux and SuSE provides additional reporting tools:
