Hello again everyone!
I have a Plesk server with 8GB RAM.
The server says that I have 7,77GB RAM totaly, 1,62GB are used, 121,77MB free, shared using 650,22MB, buffer 328,57MB, cache 5,71GB, availiable 5,22GB
The server says following about SWAP-use: totaly 4GB, Used 3,02GB, Free 104,20MB

I got following message by "Monitoring":
("the limit for the workload of the outsourcing was exeeded")
("The status of the worklouad of the outsourcing is critical")
("the actual value is 3,24GiB")

Now my question is, what should I do?
I think its better when the system doesnt use 3,2GiB SWAP when there are more 5,71GB in the cache/free.
Should I set the SWAPINESS value from standard (60) to 30? Would this fix the message which I recieved?
What would you recommend me to do?
As I said - there is much RAM free/cached and I think its not the best solution when Plesk uses this big SWAP file when there is this much RAM cached/free.
Im thankful for answers, I wish a good week and I stay
with kind regards
Goodfred!
