Hi, AIX reports the Actual memory (AVM) and this is a very useful number. It's the amount of memory that's required by AIX and the running programs. The first patch filters the AVM out of the message and stores them in memactused. It also sets memacttotal. The second patch is needed because memactpct can be > 100 on AIX. Stef

+1 We had been using "Big Brother" for years. We had also switched to a new fangled, whiz-bang monitoring solution and it just-- wasn't-- working out. We finally decided to pull the plug and switch back to Xymon because it just friggin' works. Good luck, I guess... we'll be here when you need us again. :) Erik D.

Xymon 4.3.29 scheduling and F30

Hi all, Just to give everyone an update, I have a few more patches I'm still looking at, but I mostly wanted to wait until I get a chance to test compile fixes on Fedora 30 final, which should drop today or tomorrow. There are still a number of compile warnings generally (mostly char mismatch warnings), but if you know of compile issues on other platforms specifically, it would be helpful if you could run a quick test on the latest 4.3.29 snapshot to see if it's resolved. The latest snap is available at https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/branches/4.3.29/ in the upper right. Thanks, -jc
