I referred to SNMP because it provides a way to collect performance data. By using a tool such as MRTG you can then provide historical performance data, much in the same way as sar. I had left that tidbit as being implied, rather than explicitly stating it. >and sadc. If you don't mind the GPL, the Linux systat package includes >an implementation of sar. In 1999, SCO promised to release their >source under MPL, but never did. Fortunately, I was provided with a link to a tool named bsdsar, which seems to provide sar capabilities. I haven't done any testing yet, but bsdsar looks promising. Anyone else interested may want to take a look.
