In Solarwinds HCO, We are trying to Monitor the AIX paging space is monitored as Volumes (Virtual Memory), where each paging space appears as a separate volume.
In our environment:
- Some servers have multiple paging spaces
- Alerting per individual volume may not reflect actual overall swap utilization
We are evaluating the below approach:
- Calculate overall paging utilization (average / weighted) across all paging spaces
- Generate alert based on this aggregate value
Questions:
- What is the recommended method to calculate overall paging utilization?
- Should we use simple average, weighted average, or SWQL custom query?
- Any samples for SWQL / alert condition to achieve this?
- Is there any standard SolarWinds best practice for AIX paging monitoring?
