Yes, same here.  It gets the number from the [swaplist] section (from `swap
-l`) of your client message, in preference to the [swap] section (from
`swap -s`).  [Reference: xymond/client/solaris.c, in function
handle_solaris_client()]

So the real question is, why does "swap -s" and "swap -l" give different
results?  The man page for swap indicates that "swap -s" includes swap
space in the form of physical memory (in addition to swap partitions and
files).  Physical memory used for swap?!  Huh!? I really don't know how the
Solaris memory management works!
