 sag(ADM)                        19 June 1992                        sag(ADM)


 Name

    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 term.  See tplot(ADM) for
             known terminals.  Default for term is $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 recog-
    nized.  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]"

 File

    /usr/adm/sa/sadd        daily data file for day dd.
