I would like SNMP to report MemTotal - (MemFree + Buffers + Cached), which, from what I've read, would give me an accurate reading on how much resident memory is actually being used by programs, with no caching or buffers involved.
MemTotal: 1032920 kB MemFree: 68440 kB Buffers: 343972 kB Cached: 274732 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 724248 kB Inactive: 167036 kB HighTotal: 131008 kB HighFree: 5080 kB LowTotal: 901912 kB LowFree: 63360 kB SwapTotal: 524280 kB SwapFree: 524280 kB Dirty: 64 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 272508 kB Mapped: 20052 kB Slab: 62008 kB SReclaimable: 54616 kB SUnreclaim: 7392 kB PageTables: 1636 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB CommitLimit: 1040740 kB Committed_AS: 533760 kB VmallocTotal: 114680 kB VmallocUsed: 2352 kB VmallocChunk: 112272 kB -Thanks. Try running "cat /proc/meminfo" on the target system. Which field(s) of this output correspond to the usage that you're interested in? The SNMP agent doesn't necessarily report all of these figures, but this interface is where it retrieves the information that it does report.
