Assuming that you're using the Hobbit client on the Linux box, you
can just configure the client to only go red if the actual memory
usage goes above a certain threshold. In your hobbit-clients.cfg,
you would have
HOST=linux.foo.com
MEMPHYS 100 101
MEMACT 80 95
MEMSWAP 40 70
Then it will stay green as long as the "actual" memory usage is
below 80%, go yellow when it's between 80-95%, and go red when
it is at 95% or higher.
