Is there an easy way to trigger an alert when a system runs low on swap
memory?
In the documentation I can only find tests for RAM (memory & total
memory) but nothing specifically for swap.
To illustrate what I want to test, from the "free command"
# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3072000 2800152 271848 0 123548 457420
-/+ buffers/cache: 2219184 852816
Swap: 2031608 484992 1546616
It is the 3rd column of the "Swap:" row that I want to test.
If there isn't a way then I can write a script to interact with monit,
perhaps via a log file, but I am wondering if I haven't perhaps missed
something really obvious since available swap is a basic metric in
system monitoring. I can't believe it's not there.
