Can you elaborate a bit further about what I should worry about in terms of swap activity? Anything related to SWAP I could find in the da…

Thanks for the images - I would mostly monitor the top one, the pages per second. If you see sustained activity then you need more memory. Short spikes like we see in your picture are fine. The max figure you have is under 1000, and presumably your system is healthy. So, watch for sustained activit…
