32505 - Server swap space shortage warning
- Alarm Group:
- PLAT
- Description:
- This alarm indicates the swap space available on
the server is less than expected. This is usually caused by a process that has
allocated a very large amount of memory over time.
Note:
For this alarm to clear, the underlying failure condition must be consistently undetected for a number of polling intervals. Therefore, the alarm may continue to be reported for several minutes after corrective actions are completed. - Severity:
- Minor
- Instance:
- May include AlarmLocation, AlarmId, AlarmState, AlarmSeverity, and bindVarNamesValueStr
- HA Score:
- Normal
- Auto Clear Seconds:
- 0 (zero)
- OID:
- tpdSwapSpaceShortageWarning
- Alarm ID:
- TKSPLATMI6
Recovery:
- Run syscheck in verbose mode.
-
Determine which processes are using swap.
- List application processes and determine the process ID.
- Determine how much swap each process is using. One method to determine the amount of swap being used by process is:
grep VmSwap /proc/<process id>/status
- It is recommended to contact My Oracle Support, provide the system health check output, and process swap usage.
