[system:monitoring] sysstat 5.0.6 (stable)

The sysstat package contains the monitoring utilities sar, iostat, etc.  The start/stop script is included but setting up cron for automatic collection/reports is up to the admin.  To save someone the trouble the dev version 5.1.3 doesn't compile under 2.6...

CLI Magic: Tracking system performance with sar

Monday March 20, 2006 (09:01 AM GMT)

By: Keith Winston

Sar is the "system activity report" program found on *nix systems. In Linux, you can usually find it in the sysstat package, which includes programs and scripts to capture and summarize performance data, then produce detailed reports. This suite of programs can be useful in tracking down performance bottlenecks and providing insight into how the system is used throughout the day.
