This check measures the current usage of physical RAM and of the Windows page file.

Item

None

Check parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
parameters	dict	This check uses a dictionary as parameter. The following keys are defined: "memory": Warning and critical levels of memory usage. Floating point values (e.g. 80.0) are interpreted as percentages of used space. Integer values (e.g. 2048) are interpreted as MB of free space. "pagefile" Warning and critical levels for page file usage. The same rules apply as for memory.

Performance data

Two variables: memory: the current memory usage in MB, pagefile: the current page file usage in MB.

Inventory

mem.win creates one check for each host that provides data about the page file. If that information is missing, a Unix-like system is assumed and the check mem.used is being used instead.

Configuration variables

Variable	Type	Description
memory_win_default_levels	dict	Levels used by all checks that are created by inventory.

Examples

# Set the default levels
memory_win_default_levels = {
   "memory"   : (80.0, 90.0), # alert at 80%/90% usage
   "pagefile" : (2048, 1024), # alert, if less then 2/1 GB free
}

# Disable memory levels for all hosts with the tag "test"
check_parameters += [
   ( { "memory" : (101.0, 101.0) },
     [ "test" ], ALL_HOSTS, [ "Memory and pagefile" ] ),
]
