sag(ADM)

sag -- system activity graph

Syntax

sag [ options ]

Description

The sag command graphically displays the system activity data stored in a binary data file by a previous sar(ADM) run. Any of the sar data items may be plotted singly, or in combination; as cross plots, or versus time. Simple arithmetic combinations of data may be specified. The sag command invokes sar and finds the desired data by string-matching the data column header (run sar to see what is available). These options are passed through to sar:

-s time: Select data later than time in the form hh [ :mm ]. Default is 08:00.
-e time: Select data up to time. Default is 18:00.
-i sec: Select data at intervals as close as possible to sec seconds.
-f file: Use file as the data source for sar. Default is the current daily data file /usr/adm/sa/sadd.

Other options:

-T term: Produce output suitable for terminal type term. See tplot(ADM) for a list of supported terminal types. A suitable terminal type is the Tektronix 4014 (-T 4014) which can be emulated using xterm(XC). If you use xterm to emulate a 4014, you should also set the value of the environment variable TERM to 4014 and export this before running sag.
The default value of term is the value of the environment variable TERM.
-x spec: x-axis specification with spec in the form:

"name [ op name ] ... [ lo hi ]"
-y spec: y-axis specification with spec in the same form as above.

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 blanks. 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 (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.

A single spec is permitted for the x axis. If unspecified, time is used. Up to 5 specs separated by ``;'' may be given for -y. Enclose the -x and -y arguments in quotation marks ("") if blanks or line continuations (\ CR) are included. The -y default is:

-y "%usr 0 100; %usr + %sys 0 100; %usr + %sys + %wio 0 100"

Examples

To see today's CPU utilization:

sag

To see activity over 15 minutes of all disk drives:

TS="date +%H:%M"
sar -o tempfile 60 15
TE="date +%H:%M"
sag -f tempfile -s $TS -e $TE -y "r+w/s[dsk]"
