Hi,
Having my first experiment with the new alerting features - very nice! There is one thing I can’t seem to get quite right which is how to alert for Linux system when the ‘used’ RAM is greater than, say, 90% - which is best explained with an example of a device which looks like this:
[cid:image001.png@01CF5826.67DDE2B0]
Which shows that ‘used’ is 15.1GB (48%). However, for the purposes of alerting, if you use the mempool_perc gt 80 it alarms as being 98%. So I can’t specify ‘used’ as a pool because the only pools are “Swap Space”, “Virtual Memory”, “Physical Memory” etc. There isn’t one which is specifically the ‘used’ RAM element.
So, is there a way around this or something I can tweak to get the desired result? Or what is everyone else doing to get alerting for linux boxes like this working for high RAM?
Cheers guys!
