About 10 years ago I wrote a sar data collector (sadc) that added networks and a few other things to the sar data file without changing the data format (so that the sar command didn't need to be changed). I don't know what happened to my code, I seem to remember I reverse engineered sadc using the SE toolkit, but the code isn't part of the current SE toolkit distribution. I also found a place to encode the CPU count into the file, which solves a huge problem with the analysis of sar data. In the end however, I abandoned sar, its too broken to be really useful, and created the percollator script (performance collator - all the data on one timestamp) that morphed into orcallator (see orcaware.com). Its much better to have a flexible ascii based data format than the fixed binary sar file.
Hope that helps....
