memSwapsSec
Module: CHECKPOINT-MIB
OID (symbolic): CHECKPOINT-MIB::memSwapsSec
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.6.7.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: Memory swaped pages/sec (32 bit) NOTE: This 32 bit object has been superseded by a 64 bit object - memSwapsSec64, which is supported by Check Point SVN FP3 and above. The 32 bit object is still supported, but it is recommended to work with the new 64 bit object (avoid receiving erroneous values from 64 bit machines).
What is memSwapsSec?
This INTEGER reports memory pages swapped per second via the legacy 32-bit counter, superseded by memSwapsSec64 per its description. Any sustained nonzero swap rate on a security gateway is a red flag since swapping introduces latency into packet inspection and VPN processing that firewall administrators specifically try to avoid. A rate that jumps from 0 to dozens of swaps per second right as memFreeReal drops toward zero would confirm the appliance has genuinely run out of physical memory rather than just being momentarily busy.
