Paging File Alarm

This alarm is activated when the utilization of the paging file exceeds a threshold.

When this alarm is active you should:

• Look at the Processes page of the Processes drilldown. Look at the Virtual MB column to see which applications are using the most virtual memory.
• Some applications (such as Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft SQL Server) can have their memory utilization limited.
• Close any superfluous processes.
• Look at increasing the size of the page file.
• Look at increasing the amount of RAM in the machine.
