"not a proper statistics file" when reading sar log files

  • 772

Why am I getting "not a proper statistics file" when reading sar log files?

sysstat Version: 11.2.0-1ubuntu0.2

root@sandbox1:/var/log/sysstat# ls -lh

total 4.5K

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.9K Jul 12 06:17 sa12

root@sandbox1:/var/log/sysstat# sar -u -f sa12

  1. It may be that the file is in a binary format you can convert it with:

    sar -A -f sarlog.bin > sarlog.ascii
