How to Display Swapping Statistics (vmstat -S)

1. Run vmstat -S to show swapping statistics.

   $ vmstat -S kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free si so pi po fr de sr dd f0 s1 -- in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 862608 364792 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 406 394 213 1 0 99

   The swapping statistics fields are described in the following list. For a description of the other fields, see Table 13–1.

   si

   Average number of LWPs that are swapped in per second

   so

   Number of whole processes that are swapped out

   Note –

   The vmstat command truncates the output of si and so fields. Use the sar command to display a more accurate accounting of swap statistics.
