Thanks for the reply. It seems that the 'Actual/Virtual' percentage
is what I would consider Ram usage on a linux host, but on Windows
hosts the Ram usage is the 'Real/Physical' value. Very confusing.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>From how I understand it, your system
memory will be used by services/apps/etc and that usage is
referred to as "actual". The remainder of the memory that's
not in use for those purposes will be put to use by the
kernel as buffers/cache. Basically in Linux (unless you
need to tune this for some specific reason) you really don't
need to as worried about "real" memory usage, and the fact
that it uses that leftover memory to speed up the system is
actually a good thing. As far as xymon works, you should be
concerned with the "actual" usage (but not *completely*
disregard real usage).</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">What is the 'Real/Physical' memory status?
It always shows above 95% even though my system memory hovers
around 30%. I've read that it's based on the results of the
'free' command, but when I manually run that command I only
get 'Actual' and 'Swap' values. This 'Real' status doesn't
seam 'real' at all. I'm routinely forced to manually ignore
that specific value's tolerances via the 'analysis.cfg' file,
but that seems counter productive if the 'Real' status
actually means something important. Can anyone advise?</p>
