The sar package can do this:
- Linux and Unix sar command
- sar - examples

If sar hasn't been set up yet then you cannot get info about earlier events (I'm not sure if your question is actually about yesterday). It must be active in order to get information.

if, when sysstat is installed (this is the package that contains 'sar', use

Code:

sar -f /var/log/sa/sa28 -s 17:00:00 -e 18:00:00

This of course presuming that sar is installed and collecting.

Ubuntu:

Code:

apt-get install -y sysstat

sed -i 's/false/true/' /etc/default/sysstat

/etc/init.d/sysstat start

CentOS:

Code:

yum install -y sysstat

sed -i 's/7/30/' /etc/sysconfig/sysstat # Optional, but I prefer 30 days of collected data, Default is 7 days

grep -v "#" /etc/cron.d/sysstat

/etc/init.d/sysstat start

/var/log/sa/sa28 would be yesterday's dd using

Code:

date +"%d" --date="1 days ago"

or just try something like

Code:

sar -f /var/log/sa/sa$(date +"%d" --date="1 days ago") -s 17:00:00 -e 18:00:00
