Yes it is.

 In analysis.cfg, you can specify memory parameters MEMSWAP, MEMACT and
MEMPHYS. But it only alerts on passing above a specified threashold, hence
your question, I'm guessing.

However, the memory parameters are stored in RRD files, and the "DS" option
in analysis.cfg allows you to set a threshold in either direction. An
example might be:

DS memory memory.actual.rrd:realmempct <20 COLOR=yellow TEXT="Memory usage
&V% has dropped below &L%"

The "DS" option is used to modify an existing test that is otherwise green.
Refer to the "DS" section of analysis.cfg for more information.
