Remote unix memory usage shows wrong

Vijayt — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 10:46:47 GMT

we have installed remote unix plugin in rhel 5/6 versions and remote_unix.physical_memory_used_percent is considering only the free but not the cached ones. free memory should be actual free+ cached ones but this metric shows only free which will always be 1 1 or 2% as cache use all memory as much as possible. it leave us difficult to monitor actual available memory ?

Is there any workaround any new version remediate this ?

Hello, we actually do have a new version being validated by a few customers currently that has the buffer/cache changes included. Keep an eye out on the Hub and hopefully it should be out this week.

Basically it implements this: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/406773

It was just pushed a bit ago so you should see a new version available on the Hub with this change:
