I had forgotten sag even existed. It's the sort of thing that
shouldn't ever have
been allowed to exist. (There are some old things that were actually very good
and still can't be beaten. This isn't one of them. Good riddance.)

I use sar2rrd

http://www.trickytools.com/php/sar2rrd.php

which sort of works well enough.

(It's limited by some of the deficiencies in sar itself - I've been
tempted recently to
migrate to Esar:

http://ksar.atomique.net/Esar.html

in order to get the network stats. I get the feeling that there's an
opportunity to
take a broader view here and rip out some of the useless numbers that sar
collects and add some that would be useful.)
