Few questions...

Do you have APM or just NPM?
Is this a Windows box or a Linux Box?

There are two general ways to get this information.

The first is with APM, you can use a WMI or Performance Counter moniotr (for Windows systems) to collect the information. Then you setup an APM Component alert for the level that you want it to alert on.

The second way to get this information is to use the UnDP (Universal Device Poller) to find the MIB that has Swap information. Once you have it setup to collect the data you can then create a Custom Poller alert for the level that you want it to alert on.

If you go the second route and if you have the Engineers Toolset, you can do a MIB Walk on one of your devices, this will generate a list of all SNMP data that you will be able to collect. You can look through this list and find the correct OID for swap.

Hope this helps!
