It'd be cleaner and slightly quicker to exclude bad things in a single match entry, otherwise it's taking three queries instead of one :)

You can exclude entities by mempool_descr, perhaps "mempool_descr notmatch *Cache*" ?

I created an alert to let me know when a host uses over 90% of its memory.  The problem is that linux uses over that in “cached” memory.  Is there a way to exclude cached memory?  Physical and Swap are fine.

 

I am using mempool_perc greater 90 in Check Conditions.
