Measures reported by NetSnmpMemoryTest

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Total_swap The total amount of swap space configured for this host MB  
Available_swap The amount of swap space currently unused or available MB  
Pct_swap_available The percentage of the unused or available swap memory Percent A very low value indicates that the swap space configured may not be sufficient. A value close to 100% may imply that the swap space configured may be too large.
Real_memory The total amount of real/physical memory installed on this host MB  
Available_real_memory The amount of real/physical memory currently unused or available MB  
Free_memory The total amount of memory free or available for use on this host MB A very low value of free memory is also an indication of high memory utilization on a host.
Shared_memory The total amount of real or virtual memory currently allocated for use as shared memory MB  
Buffer_memory The total amount of real or virtual memory currently allocated for use as memory buffers MB  
Cached_memory The total amount of real or virtual memory currently allocated for use as cached memory MB
