Description

The swap module determines the amount of memory (real + virual) in use on the host to be checked. It uses swap -s, pstat -T, or free -t to determine the percentage of memory in use.

Examples

  1. To warn when 80 percent of swap is in use and generate a problem when 90 percent of swap is in use: 
         module swap {
       warn 80
       prob 90
     }
