Description zac 2025-10-23 16:28:20 UTC 
SUMMARY
There doesn't seem to be a way to add a column to the application/process tables to see the swap memory usage for each app, unless I'm super blind.   There seem to be many other fairly detailed memory types which aren't nearly as often referenced as swap memory though- if one of these is actually equivilant, I'd recommend renaming it

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open an application/processes table
2. Click Configure Columns

OBSERVED RESULT
No option to show swap memory usage, despite it being a sensor in other parts of the app

EXPECTED RESULT
Ability to see swap memory breakdown by app
Comment 1 TraceyC 2025-10-23 19:02:02 UTC 
I don't see an option to add a column for swap memory either. This would be a new feature, as such I'll change this to a feature request.

Comment 3 Arjen Hiemstra 2025-10-27 12:49:55 UTC 
I was sure I added one when doing a bunch of memory rework a while back, turns out I had - sort of. Everything was there except adding the right thing to the list of available columns. The above MR fixes that.

processcore: Properly add the swap attribute

We were setting the entire thing up correctly and then didn't add the
right thing to the list of attributes.
