1) Collect an hourly execution of "uptime ; vmstat -sv" to a monthly textfile.

Cron this hourly collection of "vmstat -sv" to an ever-growing textfile with something not unlike:
"uptime >> /tmp/vmstatSV.`hostname` ; vmstat -sv >> /tmp/vmstatSV.`hostname`"

Any 14Day collection of the above will be less than 80kbytes.


2) Performance Collection Script:
NOTE:  There is a subsection of rootuser-needed commands in the below script.
Please execute&collect and then share it back for our preliminary review. 
Please execute at any time with-or-without an active workload.  
Either way, the collected data is useful.  
The script collects 6mb-20mb of text per run.
