The screenshot is showing your open server-based management. 6700 is a security GW appliance. How is it relevant here?

Can you run cpview and see what memory shows there? Also, top command would be useful.

Also, ps -auxw would help too, so we can see whats consuming memory.

You are definitely running out of memory based on that. Can you please run top and send the output?

Yeah 5GB into swap space (32%) on a 16GB box is not good but may be normal depending on what blades are enabled. Please provide output of enabled_blades. If the "available" number continues to fall to a critical level due to a possible memory leak the firewall will begin having problems.

Just so its in little bit more readable format, though I can sort of tell, can you send free -g? Seems there is only about 1.5 GB memory free...btw, does reboot free up any memory at all?
