Summary

This rule collects performance data for the Swap Space\% Used Swap Space performance counter. The collected values are accessible in performance views and reports.

This metric exposes the total amount of used swap space as a percentage of the total swap space on the system.

The percentage of used swap space value is calculated by subtracting free swap space from total swap space and comparing to the total swap space value reported by the operating system.
