How to Get Average CPU and Memory Usage from SAR Reports Using the Bash Script
======

Most Linux administrator monitor system performance with **[SAR report][1]** because it collect performance data for a week.

But you can easily extend this to four weeks by making changes to the “/etc/sysconfig/sysstat” file.

Also, this period can be extended beyond one month. If the value exceeds 28, the log files are placed in multiple directories, one for each month.

To extend the coverage period to 28 days, make the following change to the “/etc/sysconfig/sysstat” file.

Edit the sysstat file and change HISTORY=7 to HISTORY=28.

In this article we have added three bash scripts that will help you to easily view each data file averages in one place.

We have added many useful shell scripts in the past. If you want to check out that collection, go to the link below.

These scripts are simple and straightforward. For testing purposes, we have included only two performance metrics, namely CPU and memory.

You can modify other performance metrics in the script to suit your needs.

### Script-1: Bash Script to Get Average CPU Utilization from SAR Reports

This bash script collects the CPU average from each data file and display it on one page.

Since this is a month end, it shows 28 days data for August 2019.

```
# vi /opt/scripts/sar-cpu-avg.sh

#!/bin/sh

echo "+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+"
echo "|Average:         CPU     %user     %nice   %system   %iowait    %steal     %idle  |"
echo "+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+"

for file in `ls -tr /var/log/sa/sa* | grep -v sar`

do

dat=`sar -f $file | head -n 1 | awk '{print $4}'`

echo -n $dat

sar -f $file  | grep -i Average | sed "s/Average://"

done

echo "+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+"
```

Once you run the script, you will get an output like the one below.

```
# sh /opt/scripts/sar-cpu-avg.sh

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

### Script-2: Bash Script to Get Average Memory Utilization from SAR Reports

This bash script will collect memory averages from each data file and display it on one page.

Since this is a month end, it shows 28 days data for August 2019.

```
# vi /opt/scripts/sar-memory-avg.sh

#!/bin/sh

echo "+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+"
echo "|Average:       kbmemfree kbmemused  %memused kbbuffers kbcached  kbcommit   %commit  kbactive   kbinact   kbdirty  |"
echo "+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+"

for file in `ls -tr /var/log/sa/sa* | grep -v sar`

do

dat=`sar -f $file | head -n 1 | awk '{print $4}'`

echo -n $dat

sar -r -f $file  | grep -i Average | sed "s/Average://"

done

echo "+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+"
```

Once you run the script, you will get an output like the one below.

```
# sh /opt/scripts/sar-memory-avg.sh

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Average:        kbmemfree kbmemused  %memused kbbuffers kbcached  kbcommit   %commit  kbactive   kbinact   kbdirty  |

### Script-3: Bash Script to Get Average CPU & Memory Utilization from SAR Reports

This bash script collects the CPU & memory averages from each data file and displays them on a page.

This bash script is slightly different compared to the above script. It shows the average of both (CPU & Memory) in one location, not the other data.

```
# vi /opt/scripts/sar-cpu-mem-avg.sh

#!/bin/bash

for file in `ls -tr /var/log/sa/sa* | grep -v sar`

do

        sar -f $file | head -n 1 | awk '{print $4}'

        echo "-----------"

        sar -u -f $file | awk '/Average:/{printf("CPU Average: %.2f%\n"), 100 - $8}'

        sar -r -f $file | awk '/Average:/{printf("Memory Average: %.2f%\n"),(($3-$5-$6)/($2+$3)) * 100 }'

        printf "\n"

done
```

Once you run the script, you will get an output like the one below.

```
# sh /opt/scripts/sar-cpu-mem-avg.sh

08/01/2019
-----------
CPU Average: 1.90%
Memory Average: 31.09%

08/02/2019
-----------
CPU Average: 4.90%
Memory Average: 31.18%

08/03/2019
-----------
CPU Average: 4.89%
Memory Average: 31.29%

08/04/2019
-----------
CPU Average: 2.82%
Memory Average: 31.24%

08/05/2019
-----------
CPU Average: 1.76%
Memory Average: 31.28%
.
.
.
08/29/2019
-----------
CPU Average: 3.83%
Memory Average: 33.15%

08/30/2019
-----------
CPU Average: 5.80%
Memory Average: 33.19%
```
