well,you could used excel.Which are a lot of job to be done.

The proper tool to plot the graph is perfview.It have graph,history and all the thing you need to do performance tuning...

Using sar,good luck ..

That's what glance is for.

Take a look at procura's back posts and profile. He's got some programs that convert data into graphs.

Hi,

You can use MS excel.

It;s tedious Job to insert sar data in Excel but it will give good graphs.

You can use this to translate the sar output into comma delimited format for exporting into Excell:

sar |tr -s [:space:]|tr -s " " "," > sardata.out

One tool that I highly recommend is RRDtool which is both a Database and Graphing tool. I have just completed a Performance monitoring and capacity planning system entirely based on UNIX tools (sar, uptime, vmstat, iostat, etc..) coupled with RRDtool -- and the results are quite impressive. Highly customisable graphs, easily maintained database and simple deployment. Our databases for each server monitored averages about 80 MB to store up to 5 years worth of performance statistical data. I've developed a client - server program so the monitored server sends perf data records to a repository - server via sockets using a simple perl code. Peformance data is presented via a web interface with graphs contstantly refreshed as data is received from the monitored servers...

RRDtool is at:

Takes some time to understand but very powerful!

Hi there.
Try the sarcheck tool ( trial version 30 days free AFAIK ).

As someone stated above, if you want graphs, buy PerfView (one copy) and GlancePlus/Pak (one copy on all your clients). It costs money, but it does what you want, it's rigourous, failure resistant, already written, etc... It does a good job.

After sar report is collected, next step is to visualize the report. For that https://github.com/sumitbiswasgit/sarbox can be used which will help to display numbers into graphs for different categories.
