today I installed the atop tool ( before two hours )
in order to trace the OS performance
rpm -i atop-2.3.0-8.el7.x86_64.rpm
atop -V
Version: 2.3.0 - 2017/03/25 09:59:59 <gerlof.langeveld@atoptool.nl>
when we try to find the logs under
ls -ltr /var/log/atop/
total 0
we do not see logs
my question - what is defined when the logs creation
and how to force the logs creation after for example one hour
note- in order to trigger the atop it is necessary to perform the following steps :
systemctl enable application.service
systemctl start atop
rhel logs atop

From man
When atop is installed, the script atop.daily is stored in the /etc/atop directory. This scripts takes care that atop is activated every day at midnight to write
compressed binary data to the file /var/log/atop/atop_YYYYMMDD with an interval of 10 minutes.
Furthermore the script removes all raw files which are older than four weeks.
The script is activated via the cron daemon using the file /etc/cron.d/atop with the contents0 0 * * * root /etc/atop/atop.daily
If you have installed from epel the script path will be /etc/sysconfig/atop
Dont forget to start the service.
[root@testserver atop]# pwd
/var/log/atop
[root@testserver atop]# ls

so if it will create the log "activated every day at midnight to write compressed binary data" , but is it possible to force it to create it immediately ? and not to wait when midnight

@yael i hope it purely depends on cron schedule time ....

I change the file /etc/cron.d/atop to * * * * * root systemctl try-restart atop , so it will create it every min , but log not created under /var/log/atop , why?
