Role Name:

This is Ansible role for managing System Activity Report. The role supports next use cases:

1. Define a host (use inventory_hostname) on which this role doesn't manage sar (maybe there is some reason for this).
2. Define a host group on which this role doesn't manage sar (think of this as all hosts for a project that doesn't need sar).
3. If there is no host or host-group based use case, then role does default sar configuration, default is based on os-family.

Maintenance and support

1. To disable sar management by this role, in vars, create inventory_hostname.yml 
   or host-group.yml, and define sar_cfg as "No". 

2. For hostname, use Ansible var {{ inventory_hostname }}

3. If you have host/host-group based sar config, review files vars/hostname=example.yml and 
   vars/hostgroup=example.yml, and create something like that for your hosts.
