Hi,
"free" just gives the normal output, but sometimes it apparently reports bogus data on 1 host. Shrug. And it's the same version running across all the hosts. Thanks for looking into it tho.

That looks like output from the 'free' command. Try going to the server and entering
freeand see what it says. Xymon doesn't alter the output at all, it just passes on whatever comes out. Here's the relevant part of xymonclient-linux.sh, with context:
echo "[mount]"
mount
echo "[free]"
free
echo "[ifconfig]"
/sbin/ifconfigRalph Mitchell

as you can see, it reports an excessive memory usage Could you show me the client data behind this report? Assuming you have the "hostdata" task running, it should be available from the historical status log via the "Client data available" link near the bottom of the page.
It is the "[free]" section that is interesting for the memory report. Here are two separate [free] sections (from history), that resulted in red alerts:

- two different days.
Also, what version of Xymon are you running on your Xymon server? Im actually running 4.4.0-1 on the server, as I was bold when I implemented Xymon originally.
