I use Hobbit 4.2 as my production server, and I don't have any Windows
clients pointing at Xymon right now. I am currently using BBWin in
local configuration mode because it's going to be a sizable time
investment to switch. I am waiting until I am ready to replace the
production server and upgrade to Xymon before changing to central
config mode. I hope that these possible differences don't make my
installation so different as to make what I'm saying useless. If so,
hopefully someone who knows will speak up.<br>

The virtual (shows up as "actual" on the graph), as you have noticed,
is useless. On all of my systems, it shows 32 used out of 2047. The
physical memory (shows up as "real" in the graph) is actual physical
memory, but it's *mostly* a useless figure as well. The page value
(shows up as swap in the graph) is the one that seems to really
matter. It is the overall usage of both physical memory and the
pagefile. Be aware that if the ratio of real memory to pagefile on
your systems varies widely (as it does in my network), you will end up
needing very different alarm thresholds for each of your systems.
Adjusting that ratio is the only way I've found to bring parity, but
the biggest problems tend to be on the older systems, which usually
don't have enough disk space to accomodate a change.<br>
