# Agent Check: swap

## Overview

This check monitors the number of bytes a host has swapped in and swapped out.

## Setup
### Installation

The system swap check is packaged with the Agent, so simply [install the Agent][1] on any host.

### Configuration

Create a blank Agent check configuration file called `system_swap.yaml` in the Agent's `conf.d` directory. See the [sample system_swap.yaml][2] for all available configuration options:

```
# This check takes no initial configuration
init_config:

instances: [{}]
```

[Restart the Agent][3] to start collecting swap metrics.

### Validation

[Run the Agent's `status` subcommand][4] and look for `system_swap` under the Checks section.
