Hi,

the value used for memory usage includes buffers and cached memory on
linux. 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.)

Thanx. I'll disable this.
