#13 kSar cannot handle output from sysstat 9.1.x

[Anonymous]

systat package 9.1.7 on Ubuntu 11.04 64bit

Run sudo sar -o test.sar 1
to generate binary outfile.

Converted file using "-A" option: sar -A -f test.sar > testsar-converted.txt

When loading the testsar-converted.txt in kSar 5.0.6, I got

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The 'year' argument must be in range 1900 to 9999.

Ok, from some comments on other bugs, I set "export LC_ALL=C" before running "sar -o" again.

Converted again using "-A" option, kSar failed with

Removed the option "-n ALL" from conversion command and imported again, kSar failed with

Removed the option "-H" from conversion command and imported again, this time successfully.
However, network statistics are missing (as removed with option "-n ALL")

The working options from sar to convert the binary data file are:
sar -bBdqrRSuvwWy -I SUM -I XALL -u ALL -P ALL -f test.sar > testsar-converted.txt
