I use kSar as well as Munin. Munin's only problem is that it has a
hard coded 5 minute granularity - which is perfectly fine for 99% or
more of what you need. I run this script on my systems which keeps
sar logs with finer granularity that I can check into with kSar if I
need to. But I almost never need to.
Run this every hour from cron to keep sar files for each hour
01 * * * * /root/sadc.sh
You may choose to only turn this on at times when you need that kind
of granularity - below is pretty extreme with 10 second granularity.
But even at that I do not find it impacts performance in any noticable
fashion.
