Activating System Activity Report (SAR)

warning

Make sure that SystemAnalyzer is activated.

SAR is active by default; make sure it is activated to enable monitoring and collection of system performance reports. If it is inactive, follow these instructions to activate:

Windows
Unix

The Windows System Activity Report (WinSAR) provides detailed information about various system loads, including CPU activity, memory usage, interrupts, device load, network activity, and swap space utilization. It collects data using the Performance Monitor in the Windows system, allowing users to monitor machine load, input/output usage, and other system activities.

Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
cd $BIN_DIR
```
Example
```
cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
```

Once in the directory, activate the monitoring and collection of system performance reports for SAR, run the command:

Command Syntax

openit_oconfinit -u "C:/Program Files/OpeniT/Core/Configuration/module-activation/system_analyzer.root.systemanalyzer.sar.active=true"

By default, module activation changes are applied every 6 hours. However, if you want to activate the monitoring and collection of system performance reports for SAR immediately, run the appropriate command based on your system setup:
- For a coexistent Open iT setup (Core Server and Client on the same machine), run the command:
  Command Syntax
```
openit_moduleactivator
```
- For a distributed setup (Core Server and Client(s) on separate machines), follow the steps in the Manually Creating and Downloading a Distributable Configuration Files Package section.

SAR is a Unix System command that reports various system loads, including CPU activity, memory usage, interrupts, device load, network activity, and swap space utilization. It provides information on machine load, input/output usage, and other system activities.

Go to the bin directory, which is by default in /opt/openit/bin, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
cd $BIN_DIR
```
Example
```
cd /opt/openit/bin
```
Once in the directory, activate the monitoring and collection of system performance reports for SAR, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
./openit_oconfinit -u "/var/opt/openit/etc/module-activation/system_analyzer.root.systemanalyzer.sar.active=true"
```
By default, module activation changes are applied every 6 hours. However, if you want to activate the monitoring and collection of system performance reports for SAR immediately, run the appropriate command based on your system setup:

If you want to activate SAR on selected clients, follow the instructions in the Activating Features on Selected Clients section.
