[root@server1 ~]# man sar
count records at interval second intervals. If the count parameter is not set, all the records saved in
the file will be selected. Collection of data in this manner is useful to characterize system usage
over a period of time and determine peak usage hours.
Note: The sar command only reports on local activities.
