Hello,

I 'm seeing couple of mysql db master swapping and using 3-4G of swap memory , but strangely db server has 4-5G free RAM available.

Any idea why mysql is using swap when server has enough ram .

Swappiness is set to 0 on these server .

[db1 ~]$ free -g
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 125 122 3 0 0 10
-/+ buffers/cache: 111 14
Swap: 15 4 11

how all memory/buffer parameter configured in my.cnf file? if possible paste your mysql config here.
check what other application/process running on this server except mysql and get top 10 memory utilized process.

[B]You’re assuming that MySQL is causing swapping. Check your system’s swappiness setting.

my.cnf is using standard config as all other db servers in our environment (for same system config) .Swappiness is set to 0 .
