When should I worry about swap usage?

JoshP
I've installed two new ASG 220s with HA, IPS, and web and email security on.  For the first few days RAM hovered around 65% with no swap usage.  About 5 days in swap usage suddenly jumped to 10%.  About a week later swap jumped to 20%.  3 days later takes us to today, and my swap usage has jumped to 30%.  Over this time RAM usage has been fairly stable, hovering in the mid to high 60s and occasionally hitting low 70s.

Should I be worried about the increase in swap usage?

    I have been posting about Astaro's memory management issues for a couple of years...along with how to fix it.  With Astaro now using a proprietary caching package that's no longer tunable.  I have a multi-proc server at my church.  I may be able to install the beta there and start tinkering with snort tuning(if that option exists).

    You can tune the # of Snort processes via CC, to save on RAM.

    Barry, when you do that via CC, isn't the change permanent until overwritten by an Up2Date?

    Do you know what the cc command is?

    Thanks - Bob
