Hi Team,
Can someone help me with the plugin that I can use for getting the Memory utilization for a AIX server which can omit cache memory
I should only give me the data of iowait and user, but it should not include the cache. Please help me with this. thanks.

How are you currently monitoring this server? Are you using NRPE? What check command/plugin are you using to check the AIX machine's memory?

Hi Mcapra,
We are currently monitoring this server using NRPE. check_memory.pl plugin is being used and it is reporting the entire memory usage. we are not keen into FS cache memory.
Code: Select all
./check_mem -w 90 -c 70 -f
CRITICAL - 33.9% (4261900 kB) free!|TOTAL=12582912KB;;;; USED=8321012KB;1258291;3774873;; FREE=4261900KB;;;; CACHES=5575352KB;;;;
Code: Select all
check_mem.pl v1.0 - Nagios Plugin
usage:
check_mem.pl -<f|u> -w <warnlevel> -c <critlevel>
options:
-f Check FREE memory
-u Check USED memory
-C Count OS caches as FREE memory
-w PERCENT Percent free/used when to warn
-c PERCENT Percent free/used when critical

You'd probably have to modify the plugin and remove the FS cached memory from the perfdata output. Otherwise if all you care about is the cached memory not showing up on a graph, you can always toggle off specific metrics by clicking them:
