Imho this makes no sense as memory is filled up and freed with buffers at will. So I get alarms with a lot of memory available but used for buffering. Can this be fixed by modifying the probe to use used mem - buffers - cached.The only memory value currently returned by the host resources probe is any memory value that shows up in the storage table. I have no control over this--it is reported by the SNMP agent. It would be possible in the future to modify the probe also to check the memory usage statistics returned in the UCD-SNMP-MIB, for machines running net-snmp as the SNMP agent. I'll make an enhancement request for this. In the meantime, if you don't want alarms from the memory entry (entries) in the storage table, add their indices to the "ignore storage table indices" parameter when setting the probe, and they'll disappear from the listing and won't trigger any events, as long as the index stays the same (which isn't guaranteed, so you may occasionally need to change the index you list in the "ignore" parameter.) -- Christopher
Thanx. I'll disable this. Stefan
