## Overview

The metric swap amount of data read from and written to SWAP.



This collector is supported on all platforms.

This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.


### Default Behavior

#### Auto-Detection

This integration doesn't support auto-detection.

#### Limits

The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.

#### Performance Impact

The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.


## Metrics

Metrics grouped by *scope*.

The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.



### Per vm.stats.vm.v_swappgs instance

This metric shows events happening on SWAP.

This scope has no labels.

Metrics:

| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
|:------|:----------|:----|
| mem.swapio | io, out | KiB/s |



## Alerts


The following alerts are available:

| Alert name  | On metric | Description |
|:------------|:----------|:------------|
| [ 30min_ram_swapped_out ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/swap.conf) | mem.swapio | percentage of the system RAM swapped in the last 30 minutes |
