I wouldn't worry about the system using swap while there is plenty of free RAM available. As others have stated, it is a rather common situation. The kernel might decide on moving some seldom accessed memory pages to swap in order to make RAM available for future demand. But when RAM starts running low, do keep and eye on how many bytes are actually being swapped. You can use vmstat to show the amount of bytes being swapped in/out of the system.

I.e: vmstat output of a system with no swapping taking place and marginal swap usage:

~# vmstat 5
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu----
 r  b   swpd   free   buff  cache   si   so    bi    bo   in   cs us sy id wa
 2  0  28052 363992 156736 1251116    0    0     6    15    1    7  2  1 97  0
 0  0  28052 363964 156736 1251128    0    0     0    13  759  283  2  2 96  0
 0  0  28052 371132 156736 1251132    0    0     0     5  348  287  1  1 98  0

Any value > 0 means the system is actually reading from or writing to swap, at the same time you should notice a severe downgrade of the system's performance.

I have 10 G of memory.  Nagios is saying I have 2 G used and 8 G free.

 

Yet my swap is at 1 G. 

 

1)      Why is that? 

2)      Over that past week it has climbed from almost nothing to 1 G.  It is a steady climb.  No big jump.
