It depends on what operating system is monitored - memory monitoring is 
one of the most messy parts of the Xymon client, simply because there is 
no standard way of reporting it from the various operating systems.

Look at the OS-specific code in xymond/client/*.c

E.g. on Solaris, it uses the "prtconf" data to determine the amount of 
RAM installed, the "memory" data to figure out how much is used, and the 
"swap" or "swaplist" data for swap information (depending on what 
version of the OS and client is installed).
