Sar2html converts sar binary data to a graphical HTML format. It has a command line tool, Web interface, and data collection script. Use sar2ascii to collect sar data from servers: HP-UX 11.11, 11.23, and 11,31, Redhat 3, 4, and 5, Suse 8, 9, 10, and 11, and Solaris 5.9 and 5.10 are supported. Run it on the server on which you will examine performance data. For HP-UX servers, run "sh sar2ascii". For Linux or Sun Solaris servers, run "bash sar2ascii". It will create the report with name sar2html-hostname-date.tar.gz under /tmp. Sar2html has 3 parts: sar2ascii, sar2html, and sar2html.php. The plotting tools, sar2html and sar2html.php, only run on a Linux server. Gnuplot must already be installed with PNG support.
