Memory Reporting Errors

jbaulsir over 15 years ago

We have a server the is reporting two different valuse for memeory utilizations. The gauge reads 3% but the physical volume report 88% used. I'm confused, why the difference? are there two different OIDs being polled here?

We have another server that reports correctly between the two, same OS, one is AMD 2.8 Ghz procs and the other is AMD 2.2 Ghz procs.

Any help here would be great.

The Physical Memory graph is correct. The gauge is incorrect.

I just noticed that I have the exact same scenario. The physical memory reports correctly under disk volumes (72%) but the gauge displays a significantly lower value (28%). Does anyone know the logical difference of these two values?

OK, so here's some more details that I have learned. This is a HP system and the gauge is only reporting on User (/usr) memory and not necessarily the collective physical memory utilization. Can this 'Orion poller' be easily modified to include all components of physical memory?

I have the same problem, the gauges on my HP servers running domino are all displaying 100% memory useage on the gauges but dsiplaying ok in the disk volume section. This is bad enough but the top 10 nodes by percent memory used appears to be using the gauge information too. Did anyone come up with an answer to changing what the gauge is looking at.

John
