=====SwapIsFillingUp=====

**Level:** Warning


**Purpose:**
This alert is generally one that will alarm and clear, but is is important to be aware of high swap use. If the swap fills up the kernal will start to kill processes and that will lead to app downs or a complete shutdown.

**Scenario:** Swap has been >80% full for 5m.

**Resolution:**
For this warning nothing much needs to be done. If you are worried you can check the servers memory use with `free -h` or use `top` to see what processes are taking up the resources.

**Manual Action Steps:**
Nothing really, just be aware of it in case it gets worse. If it is very bad and isn't clearing, you may have to restart an application.

**Auto Clear:**
When the Swap use goes below 80% of its allocated space.
