Swap Utilization Over Time

Description

Monitor how and when swap space is used during workload execution. Identify spikes in swap usage which can indicate memory exhaustion, poor memory tuning, or application misbehavior. Use this recipe to debug performance drops, validate system limits, and prevent I/O thrashing from unexpected swap events.

Use cases

• Detect swap spikes caused by memory overcommitment
• Correlate swap use with performance degradation
• Tune memory and swap configurations under pressure
