NAME
       sa2 - Create a report from the current standard system activity daily data file.


SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/sysstat/sa2


DESCRIPTION
       The  sa2  command is a shell procedure variant of the sar command which writes a daily report
       in the sarDD or the sarYYYYMMDD file, where YYYY stands for the current year, MM for the cur‐
       rent month and DD for the current day. By default the report is saved in the /var/log/sysstat
       directory. The sa2 command will also remove reports more than one week old by  default.   You
       can  however  keep reports for a longer (or a shorter) period by setting the HISTORY environ‐
       ment variable. Read the sysstat(5) manual page for details.

       The sa2 command accepts most of the flags and parameters of the sar command.

       The sa2 command is designed to be started automatically by the cron command.


EXAMPLES
       To run the sa2 command daily, place the following entry in your root crontab file:

       5 19 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sysstat/sa2 -A

       This will generate by default a daily report called sarDD in the /var/log/sysstat  directory,
       where the DD parameter is a number representing the day of the month.

   Debian note
       The  Debian  sysstat package has already placed such an entry in your system crontab.  Please
       refer to the /usr/share/doc/sysstat/README.Debian file for details.

FILES
       /var/log/sysstat/sarDD
       /var/log/sysstat/sarYYYYMMDD
              The standard system activity daily report files  and  their  default  location.   YYYY
              stands for the current year, MM for the current month and DD for the current day.
