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.
