NAME

       isag - Interactive System Activity Grapher

SYNOPSIS

       isag [-p datafiles_path] [-c config_file] [-ght gr_height] [-gwd
       gr_width]

DESCRIPTION

       The isag command graphically displays the system activity data stored
       in a binary data file by a previous sar run. The isag command invokes
       sar to extract the data to be plotted.

       The data are processed using sar command and slightly transformed to
       tabular format, and then this format is visualized using gnuplot
       program.

OPTIONS

       -p datafiles_path
           Specify the pathname where are located the daily data files.
           Default path is: /var/log/sysstat

       -c config_file
           Specify the configuration file used by the isag command.  The
           contents of this file may depend on isag version number.  Default
           config file is: $HOME/.isag.cfg.

       -ght gr_height
           Specify the height of the chart area.  Default value is: 400.

       -gwd gr_width
           Specify the width of the chart area.  Default value is: 720.

CONFIG FILE

       As mentioned above there is a config file. There are stored following
       values:

       last showed graph

       y limits for each kind of graph

       It seems useful, because new run doesn’t need new settings to obtain
       same scale.

       Here is list of prerequsities including versioning and built-in
       features.
