I have a question about the swapped_warn event. It would appear the only way to clear this message is to reboot the node or do a swapoff/swapon

If I try an mmhealth event resolve swapped_warn I get a message to say swapped_warn is not manually resolvable.

Looking at one of the nodes showing this event, there is 1.2GB of swap being used which is not usual on a Linux server. There is however 160GB of free RAM, the server is not actually "swapping" at the moment and the event is not resolving.

It does not appear to be a configurable threshold either.

So given that a Linux server is likely to "use" swap even if it has *never* actually ran out of RAM and swapped since it was booted. What's the purpose of this event and can I do something about it?


JAB.
