Support for RHEL6 sysstat 9.0.4

[martin3ast]

Hi, I work on older Redhat 6 servers. This parser is exactly what I need, but unfortunately the sysstat package that comes natively with RHEL6 is very old version 9.0.4, and it's sadf command doesn't support JSON data output (-j flag), meaning the SadfCommand class throws. Also, it is so old that even the new sysstat sadf versions will not convert it to newer formats (ref: http://sebastien.godard.pagesperso-orange.fr/faq.html )

Upgrading sysstat is very hard for me to do across the server estate, so I'm exploring other options. For example parse ASCII text sar data or use the XML output -x flag, and refactor that format into this module.

What would you recommended as the path of least resistance?

If your version supports XML then we can definitely do that instead; it would require a little bit of hand holding for unmarshalling the XML but should be fine.

Do you have an example of the XML or somewhere I can find the schema for it?

The XML schema is available in the sysstat tarball 9.0.4 here: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/sebastien.godard/sysstat-9.0.4.tar.bz2 I will try and get some data examples too. If you've got the bandwidth to try the integration, that would, of course, be amazing. Otherwise, I can give it a go.
