Is there a command to discover the maximum swap space used? (since boot, or since resetting a counter, for example) free? free tells me the amount of swap that is available and the amount that is currently in use. AFAIK, it doesn't tell me the maximum that has been used (like a high-water mark). I was hoping to discover some command that did before I resort to scripting.
To track performance use SNMP + an NMS(1) and/or sar (2).
(1) http://www.opennms.org (2) man sar
sar looks like what I need. Thanks Adam. The man page seems to indicate that I need to run sar, or one of its relatives, in the background to produce a stats file that I can then analyse. sar is on my machines but there's nothing in /var/log/sa/ I haven't found any indications yet on the best way to set up the collection process. Is there a YaST feature to do this, for example? Or a HOW-TO?
