I have to plead "not guilty" on behalf of Xymon, then. The data reported by "free" in the "+/- buffers/cache" line is obviously bogus - but it is
what Xymon uses for the "Actual" memory calculations. If Xymon gets bogus data, then you will also have bogus results.
Yes, thats understandable. Is there any way I can NOT trigger notification on these bogus alerts? Disable the MEMACT check for that host?
