Configuring Swap-in Sample Rate

The swap-in rate measures how much memory per second that the system swaps-in from disk. You can configure how often the system calculates the swap-in rate. For example, a sample rate of 5 means that the system calculates the swap-in rate every five minutes.

Syntax

fw vsx mstat swap <minutes>

Parameter

Description

swap

Configures the swap-in sample rate for the system.

<minutes>

Number of minutes that the system measures memory swaps to determine the swap-in rate. Only integers are valid values.

The default swap-in sample rate is 10.

Example

fw vsx mstat swap 5

Output

Swap-in sample rate was changed successfully to 5 minutes.

Comments

Swap-in sample rate is a system wide Linux setting. When you change the value for memory monitoring, all the swap-in rates are calculated according to the new value.

When you enable the monitoring memory resources feature, the swap-in rate setting is saved. When you disable the feature, the system restores the saved setting.
