Memory Monitor Solaris 10 Client
list Torsten Ogrissek
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

Does munin show used memory or free? I'm fairly certain Xymon is showing used. I have Nagios server in one of my environments and it shows resources by how much if free...which can be downright confusing when you get an alert that shows 5% and think it's alerting as used. =G=

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.

Hi @all, maybe we found the problem with displaying the memory. We checked all memora data of our monitoring systems and it seems, that we only have this "phanomenom" on 1 or 2 older solaris machines. All other machines shows the right data. The colleage which is responsible for these machines has overreacted. I'm sorry for the circumstances, we look now for these data whats going wrong with it. If we have further questions, i will go on for this. Until now, thanks for the early response. KInd Regards Torsten Ogrissek Am 31.07.2013 18:44, schrieb Novosielski, Ryan:
