SarBox parses and analyzes SAR data in charts or text formats. Output can be also be exported to csv or PDF format.
I would be happy to help for anything related to SarBox. Contact me at [email protected]
To collect sar statistics from an environment, use below syntax
[user@host ~]# sar -A 30 2 > sar_linux.log
“30 2” reports for every 30 seconds a total of 2 times, written in sar_linux.log.
Sar log file would like below
Line# 1 and # 2 are Host Description.
Lines# 3 to # 13 are first set of sar data for Count# 1 with 30 seconds interval.
Lines# 15 to # 25 are second set of sar data for Count# 2 with 30 seconds interval.
java -jar -Xms1g -Xmx1g SarBox.jar
or double click SarBox.jar in Windows alike
To open a project, click File -> New Project
Select Sar_linux.log and click Open
Enter the values as required. Descriptions are provided below.
Truncate first 2 lines which are sar log header and empty line. These two lines are not used by SarBox to process output.
Select Date Time format correctly. There are few common format available or user can add of their own.
Calculate sar log interval and provide the value
SarBox converts “absolute timestamp” to “relative timestamp”. I.e. 01:08:44 PM is converted to Thu Jan 01 13:08:44 IST 1970. This will be followed for all other lines in sar log.
Relative Timestamp is required because there is no date in selected sar log and the log can run for more than 1 day in which case time will be repetitive. In order to maintain the sequence of sar data, a relative date is added based on their occurrence in sar log.
Enter the values as required to select duration for SarBox to process and provide output. Descriptions are provided below.
Click Apply and OK
SarBox has parsed selected sar log and displayed Counters available in sar log.
Select any counter to get the details.
Parsed sar log can be exported into csv or PDF format
SarBox is highly configurable. User can add, modify or delete counter name.
