FEATURES

Client Interface

We think data protection is important! No data is sent to the server. The magic happens in your browser. This tool uses native javascript and runs only on client browser.

Impressive Charts

This tool displays the SAR file output into an impressive graphical chart layout. There is option to zoom in/out the chart, especially needed when data got narrowed down due to screen width.

Export Charts

This tool allows you to generate and download charts. This feature is not available in this standalone version. Please use the online version in the website (https://sarchart.dotsuresh.com).

HOW TO

For multiple days files:
ls /var/log/sa/sa?? | xargs -i sar -A -f {}  >  /tmp/sar_$(uname -n).txt
For single day file:
sar -A -f /var/adm/sa/sa > /tmp/sa_$(uname -n).txt
For multiple days files:
ls /var/adm/sa/sa?? | xargs -i sar -A -f {}  >  /tmp/sar_$(uname -n).txt
For single day file:
sar -A -f /var/log/sysstat/sa > /tmp/sa_$(uname -n).txt
For multiple days files:
ls /var/log/sysstat/sa/sa?? | xargs -i sar -A -f {}  >  /tmp/sar_$(uname -n).txt

DOWNLOAD SAR FILE TO DESKTOP

Use any SCP software like Winscp/Filezilla/pscp/psftp to download the file from the server. Many prefer to use pscp command to download the files from Unix server to the desktop.

Yes. Just upload the SAR data file into the tool and hold on for 30 seconds to 3 minutes for the tool to process the input file. The time may vary based on the size of the input SAR data file

For generating charts as PDF the data will be sent to highcharts website. Since this is offline/standalone version, we disabled that feature.
