VPS without swap complains it wants swap

[LayLow]

@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?

TIA!

I think it was this post:

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…

Just for completeness, I did not yet created the swapfile. Then I bumped into this

It seems to be exactly I was looking for so I applied it. So far so good.

Thanks!
