Output of `free` from your system may provide some context.
Now-a-days as long as swap is barely used (single digit percent) the system is usually healthy.
If the system “runs out of RAM” swap would fill up (`sar` gives historical data which often helps ID hangs or reboots due to apps running a system out of RAM) and OOM is seen in messages/dmesg.
