Dell SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.3

Monitor Memory Utilization

You can set memory thresholds so that an alarm triggers when the system memory utilization reaches the high or low threshold level. By default, this feature is enabled with a higher threshold value so that alarms do not generate frequently.

Memory utilization is monitored as a percentage of memory consumed in the overall system memory. When the total memory utilization crosses the high threshold, a critical alarm triggers. When the total memory utilization crosses the low threshold, a warning alarm triggers. The alarms clear when memory utilization goes below the corresponding thresholds. To view the current active alarms in the system, use the show alarms command.

To configure the high or low memory utilization threshold values, use the util-threshold memory command. Before configuring the threshold values, configure a syslog server to collect and store the syslog messages. To display the configured utilization thresholds, use the show util-threshold memory command.
