Linux Crash Course - The sar Command

[@rheabaybay8662]

One issue I ran into when going through these steps is that I needed to run a “systemctl restart systat” after putting TRUE in the /etc/ config file to get the reports to start generating.

Thanks so much for writing this in, I've pinned your comment in case it helps someone else.

I also had to do this. Noting a slight typo; the service name is sysstat. "systemctl restart sysstat"

thank you

One thing I didn't understand is if the files generated are a snapshot of that given moment or if they represent some average or summary of the whole period?

[@hamatawah3698]

yes, awesome, sysstat, systemd, sysctl, systemctl and sar> Was a bit struggling to edit those but not anymore. Thank you so much!

The only config files that exist on my system are /etc/sysconfig/sysstat and /etc/sysconfig/sysstat.ioconf And the data files are located in /var/log/sa Is this specific to fedora or has the sar program changed so much since the video was released? It's only a year old.
