How to monitor swap in Linux ?

stevenchow Jan 26, 2010 12:26 AM

Using ipMonitor to monitor Linux physical memory usage could not show the actual bottleneck. Only high memory usage plus swapping activities means the system is running at shortage of RAM.

In ipMonitor, how to monitor swapping space or activities (swap in / out) ?

Thanks.

Hi Steven--
Which Linux device are you using?
While you are waiting for the community to chime in have you searched our forums using the device name and ipmonitor. That brought up quite a few posts for me.

  We're using RHEL AS 4 update 6.
  When I use "ipmonitor and swap" to search the forum, most topics are related to NPM, if you found some useful document for ipmonitor, please share with us.
  Thanks.

    Hi Steven--
    SW has an old IPMonitor support site that can answer alot of your questions.
    Here's one for memory swap mibs, which you might find helpful.
    Many thanks to Mark Wiggans for his help on this!
