Available Memory

Question

Very new to SolarWinds (installed only last week) I'm trying to find out is it's possible to monitor and alert on available memory, on our Windows 2016 SQL servers, our DBA's set a flag to reverse memory for the OS (so SQL doesn't grab it all), but I want to be alerted when the server is struggling for memory (available memory?)

Any help much appreciated.

@DaveB1 What Orion modules do you have? I am guessing you at least NPM but if you also have SAM, you will have more options.
If you could, go to one of the servers in question (since its windows I'd guess you are using WMI, but the agent or SNMP are fine too) and select 'List Resources' you should see something there that will help.
