Sean,
I don't bother saving the sysstat data longer than the default, but I
create a series of data files of my own, from the sa database. Here's a
very brief and unsophisticated Perl script that will create a report
each day. I run it from cron just before midnight each day. You can do
with it what you will. Also have a look at the sysstat web page for
some good ideas. http://perso.orange.fr/sebastien.godard/tutorial.html
daily-sar.pl
-----------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
my $today = `date +%F`;
my $outfile = "/root/sar/sar.$today";
my @u = system("/usr/bin/sar -u >> $outfile");
my @d = system("/usr/bin/sar -d >> $outfile");
my @b = system("/usr/bin/sar -b >> $outfile");
my @q = system("/usr/bin/sar -q >> $outfile");
my @r = system("/usr/bin/sar -r >> $outfile");
exit;

Hello,
Every ten minutes cron runs a script that runs sadc, which writes statistics to the applicable file in /var/log/sa/. Theses files are only saved for nine days. Is there some way to modify the process so the files are stored indefinitely? I know I could write a script to copy the files to an archive directory, but I'm thinking that something is causing the files to be deleted, and it would be cleaner to change that aspect of it.
Thank you.
