What OS are you looking to monitor memory on? The configs will be quite different depending on the OS, but you will certainly need a remote agent running on that machine to monitor the memory.

There are 2 simple wasy.

1) follow the instructions to get nrpe going on that server and use the linux server wizard. You can download the agent right from the XI Wizard and it even gives a little bit of help in installing it.

2) Setup net-snmp and use the Linux SNMP wizard.

Either way is pretty straightforward.
