I would like to somehow direct sar output and read it on a web
browser.  I have a solaris 8 box and want to check cpu stats.  Does
anyone know or have suggestions about this?

Thanks

What research have you done on this?  Have you looked for various CGI 
scripts or maybe even setup PHP to run on the system you want to do this 
on?  You'll need to setup a web server, php or java, and sar on all the 
machines you want do this on in order to create this sort of 
environment.  Or you could run sar, collect the data on each machine, 
and forward it to a single machine which you can use to format and 
browse it via a web server.

Unless you know how to do CGI or PHP or design web pages, this will 
require a lot of reading.  The O'Reilly library has lots of books on 
this or you could find some you like and read those.

Did some PHB gave you this assignment?  It's not trivial and has 
security implications.  I don't recall if sar will run without root 
access but if it can't you'll have to code this in two parts--a part 
that collects the data and outputs it as root and another that formats 
it and displays it via the web.

It would be a nice project.  Have fun.

I did once creat a central server which used scp to copy the sar entries 
from each server and then put some info from them into a mysql database and 
from there dispplayed on  a web page in graphical form. Was really fantastic 
for seeing cpu and memory utilisation over time
