Do We need swap space on Virtual Appliance

[adopilot]

Hello there,
First at all thanx a lot of great job about Zabbix.

I am using Oracle Virtualbox for Windows and Zabbix Appliance works nice on it.

I am only confused that when i Start Virtual Appliance Zabbix reporting that Zabbix server has Lack of free swap space on Zabbix server.

Does virtual appliances are ready (recommended) for production use ?

Do I need to set swap space on virtual appliance before starting use Zabbix in production environment ? (Is there way (link, manual) to do that ?)

Whether you need swap depends on your environment (how many hosts, items, actions, ...)

To add a swap partition, simply add a disk in Virtualbox, give it the size twice as large as your RAM setting for your Zabbix VM.

Then reboot your VM and turn on swapping.
