[Xymon] [hobbit] Out of range memory report HP-UX MEM is RED and reporting incorrectly,

[Hershman, Rick]

I receive RED  on MEM  column,  after just  getting a "NEW-ancient"   client  HP-UX  server loaded into xymon:
  I also as noted below>>   have the threshold set to 101
           >Like so:     MEMPHYS 100 101      in file =   analysis.cfg          (and xymon still  shows  RED)

Can I :    A.  Make it green    or  B.  Just make it vanish.
       Thanks-   Rick.Hershman at Centurylink.com<mailto:Rick.Hershman at Centurylink.com>

This fellow below: (Galen Johnson gjohnson at trantor.org <mailto:xymon%40xymon.com?Subject=Re%3A%20%5Bhobbit%5D%20Out%20of%20range%20memory%20report&In-Reply-To=%3C44D1F913.9090706%40trantor.org%3E> )      says:   I've usually just gone in and tweaked the scripts when that would happen.  How can I  "go in and tweaked the scripts"  ?

How can I make the MEM no longer report RED via > tweaked the scripts  ? how exactly does this get done ?
Or any other way to make the memory column on Xymon GUI    from    RED  be GREEN  ?


PROBLEM I encounter:

It sounds to me like vmstat is reporting the total memory as "real +
disk"...which I believe is what the 4th column shows (I don't have a
solaris server where I'm currently at to confirm).  So, while hobbit
keys on the physical (real) memory to determine the memory, it's keying
on a computed value to do the differential.  I've seen this under HPUX
and linux on occasion for the memory tests for BB.  I've usually just
gone in and tweaked the scripts when that would happen.
