    Help with item and trigger for memory utilization

    Hello,

    I need to create an item for for monitoring ram exceeding 80%. The steps I took was go into Configuration > Templates > Windows memory by Zabbix agent > Items.

    I noticed that there was a Memory Utilization item already and so I cloned it but when I saved it I could not save it with the key vm.memory.util so I appended "[avg]" on the end of it.
    I also saved it with the name "Memory Utilization 80%" now I can see it in the list of items and I clicked the three dots and tried to create a trigger for it. I essentially copied the trigger from the already existing 90% trigger and made on for 80%. So now I am thinking this looks good and all but when I go to 'items" again I noticed that the trigger is linked to the "Memory utilization 90%"


    How do I get the trigger to link to the 80% memory utilization? and why is it linking to the pre existing memory utilization?

    Your new item is vm.memory.util[avg] as you said, but your trigger still uses vm.memory.util in the expression.

      Okay fixed it the same issue. Tried using vm.memory.size[pused] instead here is how I have the item made and how I have the trigger. Still not seeing "PROBLEMS" under Monitoring. When I switch the greater than sign to be less than sign so I could trigger an alert I am not seeing anything.

      ITEM

      Type: Calculated
      key: vm.memory.size[pused]
      type of information: numeric(float)
      formula: last(//vm.memory.size[used]) / last(//vm.memory.size[total]) * 100
      units: %
      update interval: 1m
      history storage period: 7d

      TRIGGER

      Name: Memory utilization 80%
      Event Name: blank
      Operational data: blank
      Severity: High
      Expression: min(/Windows memory by Zabbix agent/vm.memory.size[pused],1m) > 80

        Hey Zabbix community,

        I recently encountered a problem with high memory utilization on my switch after adding it to Zabbix monitoring. I'm hoping to get some advice and insights from fellow users on how to address this issue. when I added switches to the Zabbix monitoring it showed that RAM utilization alert in the Zabbix was 90. As I have checked in the observium it shows the RAM utilization memory is Good and working fine

        Details of the switch model number, Zabbix Version, and the Templates we are using in the Zabbix for monitoring.
        Our Zabbix server version = 6.4.14
        switch model number= Arista DCS-7050QX-32S-R
        template using in the Zabbix = Arista by SNMP

          ​​​​​​​As I'm in doubt kicking up a old thread of 2 years back is any good. Second products are differents.
          Third those screenshots don't mean anything towards problem solving, Best way forward, create your own topic. And include the latest data value that are related + corresponding item keys. And show the used triggers.
      Working...
