sarfile_analyzer_ng

This project is a fork of my original project https://github.com/jschaef/sar_file_analyzer for graphical presentations of linux sar files. The app is using streamlit, altair, pandas, polars and other great python modules. The newer code stream computes data frames from polars rather then from pandas due to polars more efficient handling of data frames. Pandas is still used for for better visualization in the streamlit web application.

live demo

you might have a look here for a live demo: https://share.streamlit.io/jschaef/sar_file_analyzer/main/code/first_st.py. Create your own account or use the credentials admin/password for login. Afterwards upload an ascii sar file via the "Manage Sar File" menu on the top menu. Change to the "Analyze Data" menu. Investigate the diagrams and/or play with the other menus.

build

bash~: cd sar_file_analyzer/code
bash~: python3x -m venv venv, e.g. python3.11 -m venv venv
bash~: source venv/bin/activate
bash~: pip install -U pip
bash~: pip install -r requirements.txt

configure

• edit config.py
• edit code/.streamlit/config.toml

run

• streamlit run start_sar_analyzer.py

access

• open a webbrowser and navigate to the page displayed before
• username admin/password
• change password of admin
• upload your first ASCII sar file via option menu "Manage Sar Files"

note

Newer versions of sarfile_analyzer_ng may rely on the latest streamlit version. Such when pulling the newest git changes it might be that it is not working within your old virtual environment. In this case do a pip install -U streamlit

configuring streamlit

below a sample config.toml. Put it into code/.streamlit/config.toml
