Hello list, I am experiencing what seems like the problem in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=133758 I have net-snmp-5.5 installed on FreeBSD 7.2 i386 and it returns this: UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailReal.0 = INTEGER: 189072 kB UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalFree.0 = INTEGER: 273204 kB When this is what 'top' says: Mem: 157M Active, 1467M Inact, 189M Wired, 8580K Cache, 112M Buf, 176M Free Clearly the "Inact" isn't counted as free memory which is causing my monitoring to throw alerts when there is actually lots of "free" memory left (where free=free+inact). I checked the file /usr/ports/net-mgmt/net-snmp/work/net-snmp-5.5/agent/ mibgroup/hardware/memory/memory_freebsd.c and it contains the patch mentioned in the PR. What does this mean ? Does the patch not work, or am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding something ? Thank you in advance, Best regards Thomas Steen Rasmussen
