The Swap Space panel on the main Spotlight on Unix window shows the total amount of swap space allocated to the machine you are diagnosing, and the amount of swap space currently in use.
If the total amount of swap space allocated to a Unix host becomes full, the machine may halt all processes, or critical actions may be prevented from occurring. Running out of swap space may indicate a runaway process or an under-configured machine.
The type of alarm that is activated is determined by the percentage of swap space currently in use.
