Issues with swap space

Hi everyone

Since we updated to KACE 7.1 (and then 7.2) our KACE VM keeps on getting slower and crashing once in a while. We get a lot of "swap_pager_getswapspace([X]): fails" errors and when it fails entirely we get a couple of "swap_pager: out of swap space".

Heres an image fof the whole phenomenon before crashing:

We were running the VM on 4GB of RAM and I recently upgraded it to 8GB.

Any guess what might be the issue?


Edit: We are managing roughly 150 devices with our K1000

Top Answer

yes, you are using an old appliance which had very small swap space and the latest versions need more of it.

Thank you for answering my question so quickly!
Well... I wish there was a simpler solution but in that case I'll be busy for a moment ;-)
