Viewing the Percentage of Used Swap Space

This task describes how to discover the current amount of swap space being used as a percentage of the total amount available for either the entire system or a particular swap area.

To View the Percentage of Swap Space Used in a Swap Area

  1. Access the swap area instance in the SWAP application class so that you can view its parameters.
  2. Open the SWPSwapUsedPercen parameter. BMC PATROL displays a gauge that shows the amount of swap space currently being used as a percentage of the total swap space available in the designated swap area.
