Memory

[sbarnett]

I am a newbie with Zabbix and am having a hard time figuring out these triggers. I want to be able to monitor memory space, I want it to trigger it if it is under 200MB of free memory on the server. I have the trigger set as is

{Template_Windows:vm.memory.size[free].last(0)}<200000

Is this not correct?

[troffasky]

Yes, it is not correct. That will trigger at 200k.

[sbarnett]

So {Template_Windows:vm.memory.size[free].last(0)}<2000000
would be 200MB. What does the .last(0) represent?

[hipikll]

last(0) means:
value of last measuring.

[sbarnett]

Ok change my setting and still is not triggering it. If I look at latest data I can see that the free memory is around 100MB and I see no warning on the Dashboard and it triggers no alert. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

[hipikll]

Look on items value - on Last Values page and then you can see, if it is correctly measured. If it is correctly measured, then check trigger.
Can you see your memory value in zabbix?

And, do you have template linked to HOST?

[troffasky]

So {Template_Windows:vm.memory.size[free].last(0)}<2000000
would be 200MB.

No, it wouldn't. 2000000 is two million, so the trigger would be on less than two million bytes free at the last check.

Make life easier for yourself and use:

{Template_Windows:vm.memory.size[free].last(0)}<200M

[sbarnett]

The 200M did the trick did not know I could go that route. Thanks a to all. well since I am on a roll what is the difference Zabbix agent and Zabbix agent (active).

[sbarnett]

One more thing how can I get the notification to show me how low the memory is example =

Problem on FMSRVR Lack of free memory on server FMSRVR: PROBLEM

Memory usage: total:1321.51 Mb - used: 1106.00 Mb (84%) - free: 215.51 Mb (16%)

or something to this extent.
