Interpreting vmstat output

Hi people,

Please can someone explain me how to interpret the output of vmstat?!?

Im asked to do a graphic report on % of CPU usage, physical memory usage as well as swap out of vmstat output. CPU usage is simple since i just have to take the rows of 'us' column, but for the physical memory and swap im quite confused, here's a sample output:

procsmemorypagedisk faultscpu

r b wswap free re mf pi po fr de sr m1 m1 m1 m2insycs us sy id

0 0 0 10783984 2975896 74 177 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 262 1044 852 2 1 97

0 0 0 10783984 2975880 1 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 251 345 833 0 1 99

0 0 0 10783984 2975872 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 248 333 830 0 1 99

How can i use those values to get % of physical memory available and swap ?

Thanks
