Question about Linux Memory alert 🔗 link

Hi all.  I've setup the hobbit-clients.cfg with the following for memory
for our linux servers...

 
PAGE=NY/NY-Linux

MEMPHYS 100 101

MEMSWAP 60 80

MEMACT  90 95 

 
I've done this because the Physical Memory on the linux machines always
shows quite high due to Linux's memory management, and thus far its
worked great.

But today we started receiving alerts on a host that the physical memory
is 99%.  The actual memory is only 10% used, so my question is why am I
getting alerts on this host.

 
Thanks,

Taylor

Two possibilities:

1) This server uses another client (the Big Brother client), or it is
   running the Hobbit client in local-configuration mode so You need
   to change the config out on the server itself; 

2) The server is on a different page than NY/NY-Linux. Try running
   "bbcmd hobbitd_client --test", enter the hostname, no hosttype,
   and "mem" for the test type to see how Hobbit determines your
   config setup.
