I got this in the "memory" column for a Solaris 8 host this morning, which caused it to go red (even though i have the threshold set to 101).

That physical memory calculation is obviously incorrect!
Yep.
This only happened once, then it went back to normal. The "hostdata" that was saved at the time of the alert had the following memory data:

[memory]
 0 0 0 211046168 146806184 744 6249 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 2692 436955 11454 8 6 86

That looks fine to me. I can't see how it could have taken those values and got that bizzare total for memory.
Could you send me the [prtconf], [swap] and [memory] sections from
that hostdata file?
