Hobbit Memory is Yellow but it's just normal

In your hobbit-clients.cfg, add *above* the DEFAULT:

HOST=yourhost
MEMPHYS 99 100
MEMACT 99 100

This will set the thresholds for that host so that you wont get yellow until 99% and red at 100%

Hi All,

I have a server who's memory keeps going Yellow:

   Mon Oct 15 14:50:27 PDT 2007 - Memory low

   Memory              Used       Total  Percentage
  green Physical           7820M       8055M         97%
  yellow Actual             7341M       8055M         91%
  green Swap                  0M       8055M          0%

And so it is; these numbers do match the `free` numbers.  But it's not really all being used, it's just the way Linux works.

I'm really only using ~1.5 Gb of 8 and the rest is 'Slab' - which is kept around by the kernel as a cache.  But I have no Swap used so we're good.

So how do I get Hobbit to see that and relax (not go to Yellow) until we start using Swap?
