It is my understanding that hobbit uses the output from the "free" command to compute this test. What does that report on your system? Hope this helps. -- Mark L. Hinkle user-9816e24cee8c@xymon.invalid

I can't find a free command on my Solaris 10 machine. I can see it is a C library. I looked in the hobbitclient-sunos.sh it seems to be using vmstat and swap -s Thanks Wes From: Mark Hinkle <user-9816e24cee8c@xymon.invalid> To: user-ae9b8668bcde@xymon.invalid Date: 03/02/2009 02:03 PM Subject: Re: [hobbit] Issues with memory not reporting correctly

I use "bb-memory.sh" from the old deadcat.net site which houses Big Brother externals. However, I'm not sure if the site still exists. Jim Smith SVHS Little Rock

Oops! Never mind! I don't have it running on my sole Solaris server! I don't remember why, but it may be that it doesn't work on Solaris. You might give it a whirl anyway. Jim Smith

Could you try clicking on the "Client data" link on that status report and check what is in the "[memory]" section ? The "Used" value for Physical memory comes from the 5th number of the line in the [memory] section. Regards, Henrik

What's funny is that the 4294961768M is not in the client data at all. Here is the memory info from the client data: [memory] 0 0 0 29051224 14262736 369 2716 0 32 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 402 5016 1282 3 5 92 [swap] total: 1507312k bytes allocated + 0k reserved = 1507312k used, 6881296k available Thanks Wes From: Henrik =?unknown-8bit?Q?St=C3=B8rner?= <user-ce4a2c883f75@xymon.invalid> To: user-ae9b8668bcde@xymon.invalid Date: 03/04/2009 04:44 AM
