Nagios will have an os-specific checker script which just returns OK or not OK.
Our entity system is a little more generic in places, so we have to present data in a different way.
I'll add it to the list :)

Thanks for the reply Adam. I wonder how other monitoring systems (Cacti, prtg etc) do it? Or whether they can indeed do it at all.
Is there anything we can do to help on implementing this one?
Many thanks

I keep meaning to do something about this. It's because of the way
memory
is reported that our current collection doesn't really have an entity
that
can be sensibly alerted on.
I need to create another memory pool on Unix hosts which is
calculated
from the others, as we do with the "average" processor.
I keep forgetting to work out the best wat to implement it, though.

We have about 20 Ubuntu hosts and 10 OSX hosts being monitored, all reporting their memory in a very literal way. Is the best way really
to
change how they report rather than how Observium interprets?
Many thanks for the fast reply by the way

You need to fix that in SNMPd, Observium is just reporting what

Hi,
Loving Observium in general but the only issue I'm having is that
for
all our Unix-like hosts the free memory is reported too literally
to be
useful.
The cached memory pool is included in the "used memory" count,
causing
almost all our hosts to appear as having less than 5% free
physical memory.
Is there a way to get free memory not including the cached memory
pool?
Currently the alert checker I'm using is flagging all our hosts as
"out
of memory"
Many thanks in advance
