Why it does not check the Available memory instead?

Why it does not check the Available memory instead?

This plugin is used on many different OS's, so this is how it's designed (for compatibility reasons). You are welcome to use some other plugin that checks the available memory or a plugin that could be easily customized. You can search for plugins on the Nagios Exchange (or just google it).

Once you find a plugin that works for you, you could add a new command and a service to Nagios XI by following the document below:

If you are not able to find anything that fits your requirements, you could write your own plugin, following the Nagios Plugins Development Guidelines:

As a last option, you could contact our sales team at [email protected] and request a quote for custom development.

Hope this helps. Thank you!
