Help in understanding SWAP usage graph

Post by srikanth.kallu »

Why would the graph for swap utilization go down to 0 when this is copmpletly utilized, we normally expect the graph to go up when the utilzation is high right.

What plugin are you using to check this? It is possible that it is showing you the amount of space left to be allocated and not the percent used.
