We have the same issue we cannot use the built in stuff to do that because of how memory is being utilized. We use a program called /usr/bin/free which breaks down the memory. The free program is not something we wrote it may be on the machine already I am not sure but that is how we do it.
[myserver]$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1927768 1542388 385380 0 340956 654056 -/+ buffers/cache: 547376 1380392 Swap: 2097144 84 2097060 We had to write our own program to watch the memory and just send a trap when it hit a threshold.
