Writing awk to extract cpu utilization from sar command












0















I am trying to extract the values of the %user,%nice etc from the output of the sar command.



sar -P ALL 1 1


Output of this:



Linux 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 (ftizsldapp009.ftiz.cummins.com)    09/28/2015      _x86_64_        (4 CPU)

I have written following string to get the values but this doesn't seen to work.



My Command :



sar -P ALL 1 1 | 
awk '{cpu=$3; pctUser=$4; pctNice=$5; pctSystem=$6; pctIowait=$7; pctIdle=$NF}'
'{printf "%-3s %9s %9s %9s %9s %9sn", cpu, pctUser, pctNice, pctSystem,
pctIowait, pctIdle}'

          • Thanks a lot. The following seems to give me expected view. sar -P ALL 1 1|awk '{ printf "%-3s %9s %9s %9s %9s %9s %9sn",$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8}' I also need to put the output in format like. all CPU %user = 51.50 0 CPU %user = 97.00

          • remove && $3 != "all" to get the line with all cpus.

          • sar -P ALL 1 1 | awk 'NF == 9 {cpu=$3; pctUser=$4; pctNice=$5; pctSystem=$6; pctIowait=$7; pctIdle=$NF ; printf "%-3s %9s %9s %9s %9s %9sn", cpu, pctUser, pctNice, pctSystem, pctIowait, pctIdle}' This seems to give me the correct view. Is there a way in which i can iterate the values of cpu cores and their corresponding %user,%nice values. I am looking for output like 0CPU %user= 68.38 1CPU %user=57.43 0CPU %nice=0.24 1CPU %nice=4.21
