Hello,

What version of Orion NPM do you have? I have 9.1 SP5 and I would use the following:

Server ${NodeName} with Node IP ${IP_Address} having RAM usage of ${Node.PercentMemoryUsed}.

This will return a percentage. Let us know if this solves your problem.

Hello,

Afarmer is right if the RAM is monitored with the CPU and Memory poller (which you can select when you list the resources on a node) to use the ${PercentMemoryUsed} variable.

If you are monitoring the RAM as a Volume, then you will have to use ${VolumePercentUsed} .

When I listed the resources to monitor on my system I selected both the CPU/Memory Poller and the RAM as a volume. Which should I use or should I only be monitoring one of them?
