Collect and analyze actual data on a host
WHEN : when you have to monitor only some metrics
for a limited time (eg: 1h,2h), download the data, analyze them and you've done.
THE CASE : a developer ask you to collect cpu or disk performance data for 2h, during his tests of a new procedure.
- upload sarbi.sh on the target host
- run sarbi.sh with the equivalent sar parameter, redirecting the output on a file as in "On the server" of guide_sarbi_version_10 (note that you may need to run the command using nohup or in a screen terminal)
- after collecting enough data, download via sftp, scp, or with your preferred protocol the output file with the collected data
- open the pbix files (you could use one from the samples) in PowerBI and, if needed, modify the datasrouce path as in "On your workstation" section of guide_sarbi_version_10
