I'm having a minor issue on memory reporting that perhaps someone can help me fix or at least clarify. It was brought to my attention that our Orion setup (8.5.1) was reporting memory incorrectly for several of our servers. After looking into it I've found several issues, with my question on these issues being: A) is it corrected in 9.x versions, and
is there a fix I can put in place myself on my current version? I've searched the forum and found a few posts that were a little similar and a little helpful, but nothing that provided a real solution or explained my problems. So here are the issues:
Server is W2K3 sp2, 2 GB physical RAM, 3 GB Virtual memory
Orion reports:
Under CPU Load & Memory Statistics:
Memory Used: 286 MB 14%
Memory Available: 1.7 GB 86%
Under Disk Volumes:
Physical Memory: Size=2GB Used= 551MB 26%
Virtual Memory: Size=4.9GB Used= 354MB 7%
Windows reports:
physical memory(K)
total: 2096640 (2GB)
Available: 1531968 (1.46GB) *means 552.96 MB (or 26%) used
System Cache 1619464 (1.54GB)
Commit Charge (page file/virtual memory) (K)
total: 362008 (353MB)
limit: 5092960 (4.85GB)
So where is Orion getting that 286 MB amount as the memory used? Which amount is correct, 286MB or 551MB? Once determined which is correct how can I ensure that both are displaying the same thing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
