Both "sar" and "iostat" are part of the sysstat package.

Description: sar, iostat and mpstat - system performance tools for Linux
 The sysstat package contains the following system performance tools:
  * sar - collects and reports system activity information;
  * iostat - reports CPU utilization and I/O statistics for disks;
  * mpstat - reports global and per-processor statistics;
  * pidstat - reports statistics for Linux tasks (processes);
  * sadf - displays data collected by sar in various formats.
 .
 The statistics reported by sar concern I/O transfer rates,
 paging activity, process-related activities, interrupts,
 network activity, memory and swap space utilization, CPU
 utilization, kernel activities and TTY statistics, among
 others. Both UP and SMP machines are fully supported.
