This PHP Nagios plugin calculates the real free memory according to http://www.linuxatemyram.com/. When you think that your Linux memory is always near to 100% consumed, that is properly not true. Linux calculates the free memory in a special way. This plugin tries to get the memory that is really still free to use.

The plugin also returns performance data.
You can download the latest version and see the full documentation on GitHub.

Just copy the file check_usolved_linux_realmemory.php into your Nagios plugin directory. For example into the path /usr/local/nagios/libexec/
