sar

When I run sar -d I receive the error message:

Requested activities not available in file /var/log/sysstat/sa24

The file does exist, and I can run sar with other flags, but can't see these particular metrics. Is there something I need to enable in sysstat to collect what I need to see this report?

Server is Ubuntu 9.04.
