Measures reported by DellNSMemoryTest

This test reports the memory utilization of the target Dell Switch N Series.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Cisco Wireless Accesspoint being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
totalMemory Indicates the total amount of memory allocated to the switch. MB  
usedMemory Indicates the amount of memory utilized by the switch. MB A low value is desired for this measure. A value close to the totalMemory measure indicates that the memory resources are depleting rapidly.
freeMemory Indicates the amount of memory that is currently available for use in the switch. MB A high value is desired for this measure.
usedMemoryUtil Indicates the percentage of memory utilized by the switch. Percent A low value is desired for this measure. A high value or a consistently increasing value is a cause of concern, as it could indicate a gradual erosion of memory in the switch. In such cases, you may want to resize the memory of the switch or investigate the cause of memory erosion and find a way to arrest the memory erosion.
