Experts,
I have been trying to figure out what is the total physical memory used from this output:
And what is the free memory available for the application or any programs.
The answer has to be in this format:
- Physical Memory Used= xx.xx%
- Physical Memry available= yy.yy%
Can any one answer this question please.,
DATA: (output of free command ) :
######
OS=Suse Linux 11.
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 12200000 12003044 196956 0 52 524220
-/+ buffers/cache: 11478772 721228
Swap: 20955132 802368 20152764
I figured this means the Memory Usage= used/total * 100 = 98.3%
- Since The Usage (in sar) showing 98.45% it is high time to wake up and to be alert.
Since this is closed to full capacity, and things can start breaking if not paid enough attention to the usage.
# from sar -r : What I am seeing is below:
kbmemfree kbmemused %memused kbbuffers kbcached kbcommit %commit
05:24:01 PM 188908 12011092 98.45 52 494044 15664476 47.25
05:25:02 PM 186124 12013876 98.47 52 494524 15669836 47.26
05:26:01 PM 187284 12012716 98.46 52 496068 15664196 47.25
05:27:01 PM 180372 12019628 98.52 52 496712 15664384 47.25
Average: 186109 12013891 98.47 500 2123739 15654751 47.22
-So I am trying to ask the experts what is the opinion about it , and if one can answer in a simple answer to this question: (Descriptive answer is welcome but I also want answer to 1. & 2.
I have a feeling like this is not real usage, so checking with linux experts.,
- Physical Memory Used= xx.xx%
- Physical Memry available= yy.yy%
Thank you for your time...
