Add swap memory size threshold #12

Closed pomartel closed 9 years ago

pomartel commented 9 years ago

This addresses the issue #6 where the dyno swap size should also be monitored. With this pull request, you can set a swap memory size threshold and the dyno will restart if it reaches the threshold.

I have not yet tested it in production. I added some specs though.

I am no longer sure this is as useful as I thought it would be. Trying to control the swap size might not be such a great idea. I am going to close this.

I'm actually testing this at the moment, why did you close it? It looks like a very interesting feature to have, doesn't it?

It's not the right approach. Your swap size can increase without impacting the dyno performance. Try to find what's causing the swap memory to increase instead, that's a better way to go.
