By default, we get alerted if Actual memory exceeds X or if swap exceeds Y.
What I really want to know is if Actual + Swap are both highly utilized at
the same time.

Has someone solved this already?  Thoughts?

I think you need to write an ext test.

I'm curious though, what would be a situation where swap and actual
are both below your threshold but the combination is an issue?
Possibly tweaking the thresholds might get you the right level of
alerting.
