Hi,

Does anyone have an efficient way to issue alerts when physical memory usage (not swap) has reached X% ?

We have OpenView VPO and Measureware to make use of.

Thanks in advance.

Ent,

Unless you configure HPUX to use only a specified figure the buffer cache will expand to use nearly all of available memory.

Unless your server is a database server with a "large" amount specifically configured to use a fixed size buffer cache I suggest it would be more useful for you to monitor the pi (page in) and po (page out) fields in the output of vmstat.
