Question about Linux Memory alert
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:
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;
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.
