The Swap Out Flow represents the number of processes swapped to disk per second.
A machine that is swapping processes to or from disk is usually under-configured for its workload.
The type of alarm that is activated is determined by the number of processes swapped to disk every second.
The Least Space / Disk Space container in the Disk Activity panel displays the percentage of used disk space for the specified filesystem.
The Used Percentage alarm indicates that the filesystem is full or filling up. If the filesystem fills up completely, no more data can be written to it. For example:
Notes:
- The filesystem that has the least amount of free space, OR
- A user-specified filesystem on the Unix host.
The Zombie button in the CPU panel shows the number of terminated child processes that have not been acknowledged by their parent process.
A high level of zombie processes is indicative of the presence of an inferior program, or an entry in /etc/inittab (or equivalent) preventing init from completing its startup sequence.
The type of alarm that is activated is determined by the number of zombie processes waiting to be exited.
Spotlight is powerful diagnostic and problem-resolution tool for Unix and Linux operating systems. Its unique user interface provides you with an intuitive, visual representation of the activity on your host machine.
