My SNMP monitoring server is generating alerts that the swap file on the director node is full.
Anybody have any idea for ways to alleviate that (aside from rebooting)?

Hello Daniel,
We'll need to find the root cause of this. Generally heavy swapping is a sympthom of huge memmory usage. The system is staring to run out of phusical memory and is swapping to compensate.
Can you run some memory usage reports on the node to check which process(es) is eating up the available memory. One of the ways to do this is by a top report:
Type "top" in the shell to run the top tool.
While in there press + then press and hit
This will make the top toll to sort the running processes by memory usage instead of CPU.
Best Regards,
Kalin.
