Easy methods to set up sar in SUSE Linux

If zypper repo will not be configured you’ll be able to obtain applicable rpm to your kernel model and set up utilizing rpm command. We used SUSE12SP3 right here for demonstration.
As soon as finished it’s worthwhile to begin sysstat service so that it’s going to begin accumulating monitoring information in background. Additionally, allow this service at boot in order that after reboot it begins itself and carry on accumulating information in background.
[email protected] # systemctl allow sysstat
Created symlink from /and so forth/systemd/system/multi-user.goal.needs/sysstat.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/sysstat.service.
[email protected] # systemctl begin sysstat
root@kerneltalks # systemctl allow sysstat
Created symlink from /and so forth/systemd/system/multi–person.goal.needs/sysstat.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/sysstat.service.
root@kerneltalks # systemctl begin sysstat
That’s it. You’ve got put in sar on SUSE Linux and began accumulating monitoring information.
