Even though the "proc" status doesn't change, the "memory" status would
change. And a status that goes red triggers saving the full, raw client
data (if you have the [hostdata] task enabled and you're running Hobbit
4.2.0).

If the memory status did go red, and you go to the detailed historical
memory status webpage, you should find a "Client data" link at the
bottom of the page - this is the data saved from when the memory status
went red.

Putting it on a Wiki is probably more efficient than having it go via
me. There is a Hobbit wiki somewhere already, but I don't mind linking
to wherever you decide to make the docs available.
