Help with triggers using proc.mem.

[cb0n3y]

Hello everyone,

i'm using proc.mem to get how many Memory in percent the vault process is using. What kind of function should i use for this? avg(), last(), count()?

proc.mem[vault,vault,,,pmem]

And i get something like in the picture.
I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you in advance

Hello cyber,

sorry and thank you for your quick response. Sure, the item receives values. I want to make three triggers that fires when memory utilization is over 60%,70%, and 80% respectively. I had tried with avg() function
and it works as far as i can see but i am not sure about that. Here my trigger expression:

{HOST:proc.mem[vault,vault,,,pmem].avg(5m)}>60

Can i use the trigger like that or should i consider other functions?

Edit: missed the "pmem" option, removed my comment.

To avoid flapping trigger you could either use "avg" as you have (instead of last), and even better: "avg" with a separate "recovery expression" that uses a different value (and remember to reverse the logic). E.g. "...avg(5m)} > 60" as trigger and "...avg(5m)} < 50" as recovery expression.

Hallo eithor,

thank you for your answer. I'm still using tha avg() function. That with the recovery expression is a very good point. I still have a question. The value that i receive from proc.mem[vault,vault,,,,pmem] is the % Value of the total RAM?

You seem to have an item and it also receives values... What kind of function should you use for what? You absolutely forgot to tell us, what you are trying to achieve......
