Swap usage problem

NethServer Version: 7
Module: System

I have a question… is it advantageous to reboot every night the server with a cron setting or I have to leave the server up?

Thanks.

there’s no reason to reboot a server (but for kernel update or other kind of updates)

moreover, reboot is the most critical status for your hw from many points of view

What kind of problem are you trying to resolve?

My server use about 10% of swap… is it normal?
I have 8GB of RAM…

[root@ns7dev9 ~]# cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
30

when you use about 70% of your ram then you start to play with your swap

On my server the response is “60” when I launch the command cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

then when you have used 40% of your ram you start to use the swap memory. It is a standard usage of swappiness. You can also look after with google how to change it, one example https://www.hostingstuff.net/tweak-swap-centos-7/

may I ask you to adjust your topic to something relevant on swap settings

You can start by a setting to 30-40
