I have never monitored any Redhat systems before, all Solaris in the past for the most part. Since top and free always show all the physical memory in use on Redhat, how do people monitor memory usage accurately with Xymon? Currently the Memory tag shows as yellow under this new Redhat server, though in my mind it should be green.
