# isag(1)

Interactive System Activity Grapher

## 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.

## PREREQUSITIES

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

- Tcl/Tk

  Version 8.0 or newer.\

- gnuplot

  Gnuplot must have a **tkcanvas** display.
