SAG(1G)  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

sag − system activity graph

SYNOPSIS

sag [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

Sag 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 combination; 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’s available).  These options are passed thru 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(1G) for known terminals. If term is vpr, output is processed by vpr −p and queued to a Versatec printer.  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, e.g., 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 spec’s separated by ; may be given for −y.  Enclose the −x and −y arguments in "" if blanks or \<CR> are included.  The −y default is:

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