We use check_xi_service_snmp_linux_storage to monitor NagiosXI host, the memory check seems getting higher and higher in these days and finally almost up to 98%, but the NagiosXI host seems working fine, what could be the problem?

Searching forum got the information that using SNMP in monitoring memory could get memory swap/cache/... together so the value could be high. in such situation, what plugin will be better in monitoring NagiosXI host memory?

It likely includes the cached memory (cached but able to be used) as well like you're thinking.

It looks like this plugin should do what you need by default:
