Hi

I am unable to view the output of sar file using below command

sar -f sar07, it is showing below error.

Invalid system activity file: sar07 (0x920)

above file is in location /var/log/sa

wheather for memory it is creating the file at different location?

Try /var/log/sa/sa07. sar* files are text summaries. sa* files are data to be used with the sar command. See the sar man page.

# pwd
/var/log/sa
 
# file *
