@mrmarkuz sorry for bothering you with this, but for the life of me I can not find you suggestion on the above question a good while ago. Can you still find it please?

AlertManager complains about Swap filling up

I think the alert is correct so what about adding more swap? You could create a swap file. EDIT: To disable the rule you could comment it out in the rules config but that change doesn’t survive a restore. Edit the memory rule… runagent -m metrics1 nano rules.d/memory.yml …and comment out the swap_full rule: groups: - name: Memory rules: # - alert: swap_full # expr: ((1 - (node_memory_SwapFree_bytes / node_memory_SwapTotal_bytes)) * 100 > 80) # for: 2m # labels: # severit…

To create a swap file: Chapter 15. Getting started with swap | Managing storage devices | Red Hat Enterprise Linux | 9 | Red Hat Documentation
