[External] [Xymon] how to ignore or hide MEMPHYS from linux clients

[Beck, Zak]

Yeah I hear you, that config file is a pain... We manage it with SCCM.

The nuclear option is to customise the client you deploy, increment the version number at the top and have the clients auto-update - change this line, change the 1 to 0 (zero):

    SetIfNot $script:XymonSettings clientbbwinmembug 1 # 0 = report correctly, 1 = page and virtual switched

Thanks Zak, I will look into that option in the client config.  Is there possibly a way to accomplish the swap on the Server side instead?  I have hundreds of clients with years of history that would need adjusted, and it would be great to have a server-side option that would use the existing data and display it correctly.

I've tried using the IGNORE flag in analysis.cfg but that seems to only work for Disk and Logs, not Memory.  Is there a way to accomplish this?  I'd also like to IGNORE the MEMACT data coming from Windows Powershell clients.  For whatever reason it seems that MEMPHYS and MEMACT are reversed between Windows and Linux, causing great confusion.
