Issue

After a Leapp sar files are not created anymore:

[root@server sa]# ls -ltR
.:
total 725804
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     1044 Jan 25 20:01 sa25
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     1044 Jan 19 10:57 sa19
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     1044 Jan 13 07:37 sa13
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     1044 Dec 27 12:58 sa27
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     1072 Dec 23 20:47 sa23

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     1044 Oct 11 11:06 sa11
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     1044 Sep 21 14:55 sa21
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     1072 Jun 29  2021 sa29
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     1044 Jun 12  2021 sa12
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13204293 Jun 11  2021 sar11
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 18012128 Jun 10  2021 sa10
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13204293 Jun 10  2021 sar10

Above you can see that the Leapp was done in June of 2021.
The reason why you see other smaller files with different dates is because every time you reboot the server or restart the sysstat.service it runs SAR for one time.
