PRTG Memory Sensor for Linux and caches/buffers

Votes:

0

We get alerts of low RAM on Linux machines what use heavy caching/buffering apps. The RAM is not really low as the kernel can flush the caches if needed. How can I tweak the probe/sensor to see the real free RAM?

We have recently tweaked our Linux Meminfo sensors.

Are you using these sensors? Can you re-add them?

Which distro of linux are you using?
