How do you monitor Linux Memory?

awhit22

Hey there,

 

I am just now implementing ipMonitor 10.x to monitor Windows and Linux systems in our environment. I would like to monitor the Memory on our Linux systems, however am told that it is a little tricky because of the way Linux caches memory and reports used memory??? 

I'm not a linux guy by trade, so my questions is if the generic monitor that adds itself during a discovery is an accurate reflection of available memory and if not, how do I accurately monitor the available memory on Linux systems?

I looked around on the forums but didn't really see much that made sense.  

Thanks in advance.
