The steps involved in generating the SARchart are as follows:
Create the SAR output as a text file.
Download the SAR text file to the desktop
Upload the SAR text file to this site.
The site will create all the charts.
1. Generate SAR Output from Server
Login as root (or with sudo) access run the following commands to fetch the sar output for a specific date or multiple dates.
Example: For single day file: # sar -A -f /var/log/sa/sa19 > /tmp/sa19_$(hostname).txt # chmod 755 /tmp/sa19_$(hostname).txt
For multiple days files: Works only in [Tool-Beta] page. # ls /var/log/sa/sa?? | xargs -i sar -A -f {} > /tmp/sar_$(uname -n).txt # chmod 755 /tmp/sar_$(uname -n).txt
2. Download SAR file to DESKTOP
Use any SCP software like Winscp/Filezilla/pscp/psftp to download the file from the server. I personally use pscp command to download the files from Unix server to the desktop.
