High Utilization Memory - alert not working

[Pel79]

I am quite new to Zabbix.

Zabbix 7.4.6 (revision 626d2b8a482)

I've set up an alert for a Windows Server so if it goes over a certain RAM utilization percentage, I should get an alert, however it isn't working.

The agent is running on the target server.

Here's my setup:



For testing purposes and to see if the alert gets triggered, I set up the memory percentage value to 10%. The server is currently at 17%, so it should trigger an alert.

Once I get this to work, I will set the alert to 90%.




Zabbix_agent.conf setup:

LogFile=C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\zabbix_agentd.log

Server=192.168.17.232

ServerActive=192.168.17.232

Hostname= ****-******

Include=C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\zabbix_agentd.d\



So what am I doing wrong or what am I missing here?

Thanks.

I am having a tough time finding such thing, what would be the correct counter and interval for checking RAM on a server?

windows perf counter for RAM usage

AI Overview
Key Windows performance counters for monitoring RAM usage in perfmon include Memory\Available MBytes (free memory), Memory\% Committed Bytes In Use (percentage of physical RAM being used by committed memory), and Memory\Committed Bytes (total virtual memory committed). For specific process tracking, use Process\Private Bytes.
Key Memory Performance Counters:

• \Memory\Available MBytes: The most direct measure of free physical RAM available for processes.
• \Memory\% Committed Bytes In Use: Indicates the ratio of Committed Bytes to the Commit Limit (Physical RAM + Pagefile).
• \Memory\Committed Bytes: The total amount of virtual memory (in bytes) that has been committed to the pagefile or physical RAM.
• \Memory\Pages/sec: High values may indicate insufficient RAM and high paging activity.

Process-Specific Counters:

• \Process(*)\Private Bytes: Measures memory allocated specifically to a process that cannot be shared with other processes.
