I want to look at disk I/O info on my machine/in general. Found some help from https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/55212/how-can-i-monitor-disk-io
After recently installing sysstat package and attempting to use sar command (I assume) as that person did, I was instead prompted to check if data collecting was enabled in the above specified file.
After:
sudo vim /etc/default/sysstat
I changed the only line of uncommented code:
ENABLED="false"
to:
ENABLED="true"
However, I am still not able to run sar and get the expected output in my terminal.
Try restarting the service and see the data collects or not
$ sudo service sysstat restart
