Ram showing critical status
Hi,
I am using nagios to monitor vm in blade servers, everything is working fine. The ram size of the vm is 4 gb and whenever the machine starts, the status of ram is critical as showing only few kb are free.
I set the critical limit as 5% and it comes as 3% and showing as critical. when i give top, i got it as

as shown in the % mem , the total memory used is of about 23% only
whereas it shows used memory about 3.7 gb
Can anyone explain me how this works and where my understanding goes wrong.
