I am not seeing this one. How are you getting memory used from "the system" when you check that way?
For mine, I get the appropriate numbers. See:
# vmstat
kthr memory page disk faults cpu
r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr m0 m1 m4 m5 in sy cs us sy id
0 0 0 31227688 25971592 142 521 10 6 6 0 0 14 10 12 1 2239 4198 2471 11 2 87
..."free" is about 25GB.
From Xymon:

Memory Used Total Percentage
green Physical 7035M 32768M 21%
...looks about right to me (the data is slightly different ages so forgive the small inconsistency).

Subject: [Xymon] Memory Monitor Solaris 10 Client
Dear Xymon-Team,
we have mentioned a problem with our memory monitors for solaris
clients. the data shown on the page of every monitor for solaris
are the mirrored like it is - let me explain.
We have installed munin and xymon on a solaris 10 machine, so that we
can compare the data from both tools.
If munin and the system says the current memory used is 48% --> xymon
shows 52%.
If munin and the system shows that 15% are currently used - xymon shows
85%... and so on.
We currently use Xymon server 4.3.10 and solaris client 4.3.7.
Do you have any idea, what we can do, is it a bug - maybe fixed in newer
client versions, or do we have to configure
something for the correct data?
Regards
Torsten
