sar -u 2 10

Hi,
I have given a following command
sar -u 2 10 and output of the following command
is:

09:53:30 %usr %sys %wio %idle
09:53:32 88 7 3 1
09:53:34 71 1 11 17
09:53:36 50 2 2 47
09:53:38 50 0 2 48
09:53:40 49 0 2 49
09:53:42 52 3 2 43
09:53:44 68 9 7 16
09:53:46 62 13 24 1
09:53:48 60 7 10 23
09:53:50 50 1 1 48

Average 60 4 6 29

Is the 60% in user mode consuming more cpu utilization?
what is the meaning of above output and what is the action taken for better performance

Before we can analyse that output we sort of need to know more your system. What applications are running, what mode the system is, how much RAM, swap buffer cache etc. (Many of these can be gained from using glance)
Anyone for a Mutiny ?

Mehul,

from system admin point of view you system is doing well. There are user processes taking most of CPU time.

System (OS) related processes are taking nominal resources.

You can see in top what are the processes takign more CPU resources and let Application support team know them.

See man sar for more information about these metrices
