Swap Usage reporting critical

[Maengun]

Ok I installed Nagios XI for the first time from the OVF template into my VMWare envirnoment. It seems to be running fine, except the VM itself is reporting a swap critical issue. How do I fix this?

SWAP CRITICAL - 100% free (0 MB out of 0 MB)

Swap is dynamically added to and subtracted to depending on your systems needs, here is a good definition:

What is the output of the following:

Code: Select all

cat /proc/swaps

[Maengun]

It's empty, nothing to display

What does:

Code: Select all

free -m

Return? This will give us an overview of your available and allocated memory.

Run in terminal:

Code: Select all

swapon -a

then try your check again. Did this help?

[root@numbers ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 995 535 460 0 13 98
-/+ buffers/cache: 423 571
Swap: 0 0 0


Remember this wasn't something I created, I used the premade OVF file so this was created and setup in the download. But fo course I do want to fix it.

No change after running the swap -a command

Is this the 32- or 64-bit version?

64-bit

We are working on the issue as we speak and will have a new VM uploaded by tomorrow.
