    Process monitor for RSS size difference

    Hi All,
    We have a process being monitored for it's RSS size so we can alert if it grows to large. We are seeing that after setting the monitor ( proc.mem[,,,BookingService,rss] The Zabbix server is showing the current values of 3030544384, whereas the customer goes and performs a top command and it is showing the resident memory at 2800000000. A difference of 230mb. Why is the zabbix server reporting the 230mb higher difference? Is this something that needs further adjusting somehow. TIA

    2c. MEMORY Usage
    This portion consists of two lines which may express values in kibibytes (KiB) through exbibytes (EiB) depending on the scaling factor enforced with the `E' interactive command.
    ....
    This table may help in interpreting the scaled values displayed:
    KiB = kibibyte = 1024 bytes
    MiB = mebibyte = 1024 KiB = 1,048,576 bytes
    GiB = gibibyte = 1024 MiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
    TiB = tebibyte = 1024 GiB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
    PiB = pebibyte = 1024 TiB = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
    EiB = exbibyte = 1024 PiB = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes
    ....
    17. RES -- Resident Memory Size (KiB)
    The non-swapped physical memory a task is using.

    3030544384 bytes (as Zabbix reads it) is 2.822414398193 GiB. Or shortly just 2.8 ...
