I’ve just installed it, but I’m stumped on the documentation on how to find the name of a high-load process from 10 mins ago. Install and start the monitoring sudo pacman -S sysstat sudo systemctl {enable,start} sysstat Find what processes were running 10 minutes ago (first wait 10 minutes) sar -P ALL -f /var/log/sa/sa$(date +%d -d '10 minutes ago') nothing happens.
