Re: When ram memory is critical ?

I know most of software that you mentioned , particularly i use Pandora fms that use agent for memory warning . Pandora use this command : cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemFree | awk '{ print $2 }' . I wrote to Pandora support because i think is misleading .

For which there are plenty of already working applications; munin,
nagios, collectd, cacti and so on. Monitoring the amount of free memory
on a machine is such a common task that there's almost no need to
re-invent the wheel.
