sag(1)
NAME
sag - system activity graph
SYNOPSIS
sag [-e time] [-f file] [-i sec] [-s time] [-T term] [-
x spec] [-y spec]
DESCRIPTION
The sag utility graphically displays the system activity
data stored in a binary data file by a previous sar(1) run.
Any of the sar data items may be plotted singly or in combi-
nation, as cross plots or versus time. Simple arithmetic
combinations of data may be specified. sag invokes sar and
finds the desired data by string-matching the data column
header (run sar to see what is available). The sag utility
requires a graphic terminal to draw the graph, and uses
tplot(1) to produce its output. When running Solaris 2.x and
OpenWindows, perform the following steps:
1. Run an "xterm" as a Tektronics terminal: prompt# xterm -t
2. In the "xterm" window, run sag specifying a tek termi-
nal: prompt# sag -T tek options
OPTIONS
The following options are supported and passed through to
sar (see sar(1)):
-e time
Select data up to time. Default is 18:00.
-f file
Use file as the data source for sar. Default is the
current daily data file /usr/adm/sa/sadd.
-i sec
Select data at intervals as close as possible to sec
seconds.
-s time
Select data later than time in the form hh[:mm].
Default is 08:00.
-T term
Produce output suitable for terminal term. See
tplot(1) for known terminals. Default for term is
$TERM.
-x spec
x axis specification with spec in the form:
name[op name]...[lo hi]
name is either a string that will match a column header in
the sar report, with an optional device name in square
brackets, for example, r+w/s[dsk-1], or an integer value. op
is + - * or / surrounded by blank spaces. Up to five names
may be specified. Parentheses are not recognized. Contrary
to custom, + and - have precedence over * and /. Evaluation
is left to right. Thus, A/A+B*100 is evaluated as
(A/(A+B))*100, and A+B/C+D is (A+B)/(C+D). lo and hi are
optional numeric scale limits. If unspecified, they are
deduced from the data.
Enclose spec in double-quotes ("") if it includes white
space.
A single spec is permitted for the x axis. If unspeci-
fied, time is used.
-y spec
y axis specification with spec in the same form as for
-x. Up to 5 spec arguments separated by a semi-colon
(;) may be given for -y. The -y default is:
-y"%usr0100;%usr+%sys0100;%usr+%sys+%wio0100"
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Examples of the sag command.
To see today's CPU utilization:
example$ sag
To see activity over 15 minutes of all disk drives:
example$ TS=`date +%H:%M`
example$ sar -o /tmp/tempfile 60 15
example$ TE=`date +%H:%M`
example$ sag -f /tmp/tempfile -s $TS -e $TE -y "r+w/s[dsk]"
FILES
