How Do I Find The Main Memory Usage?

[antoaravinth]

Hi all, I'm very new to Nagios.

I need a way to monitor my systems Main memory usage. How Can i do that?

Say for example I need to get notified if :

My main memory > 80% for 15 minutes

Thanks in advance.

What type of Host do you intend to monitor, Linux, AIX, Windows...etc?

For instance for a Windows server you could install the NSClient++ agent on the Host side, then configure Nagios Core to run a check to it.

If you were to search "memory" in this document the second search will show you an example of how the Nagios side would be configured:

Thanks for the reply.

But how do I specify the timing constraint? In my case I need to do :

Code: Select all

My main memory > 80% for 15 minutes

Where do I specify the "15" minutes timing constraints?

Monitoring different types of hosts will require different steps to get main memory.
