NAME

       sysstat - sysstat configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       This  file  is read by sa1(8) and sa2(8) shell scripts from the sysstat's set of tools.  It consists of a
       sequence of shell variable assignments used to  configure  sysstat  logging.   The  variables  and  their
       meanings are:

       HISTORY
              The  number  of  days  during  which  a  daily data file or a report should be kept. Data files or
              reports older than this number of days will be removed by the sa2(8) shell script.  Data files and
              reports are normally saved in the /var/log/sysstat directory, but if HISTORY is greater  than  28,
              the scripts use a tree of directories under /var/log/sysstat.

       COMPRESSAFTER
              Number of days after which daily data files are to be compressed, either by gzip or bzip2.

       SADC_OPTIONS
              Options  that  should be passed to sadc(8).  With these options (see sadc(8) manual page), you can
              select some additional data which are going to be saved in daily data files.   These  options  are
              used only when a new data file is created. They will be ignored with an already existing one.
