If you want the reports can be generated automatically insert the following lines (the today report creation time depend mostly of your sarg server load average, tune it):
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
00 08-18/1 * * * sarg-reports today
00 00 * * * sarg-reports daily
00 01 * * 1 sarg-reports weekly
30 02 1 * * sarg-reports monthly
REMEMBER: if you use logrotate, configure it to retain enough logs to ensure availability of data for the longest period for which you need a report. Log rotation frequency is unimportant. See https://sourceforge.net/p/sarg/wiki/Keeping%20enough%20log%20to%20process/ This version of sarg-reports will use the log file defined in sarg.conf and also prior log files which have been rotated out of that location.
