Checks the memory (physical and virtual) usage for Windows, Solaris, Linux servers, Cisco firewalls and MacAffee WebGateway

Setting a threshold for physical memory doesn't make much sense in modern operating systems. But the virtual
momory should be monitored.

- Windows: Physical and virtual memory is monitored. Threshold (and alarm) for virtual memory.

- Linux: Physical memory, swap space and momory buffers is monitored. Threshold (and alarm) for swap space.

- Solaris: This is a little bit tricky. The swapfs (virtual memory) uses a part of the physical memory and the
swap space. With most memory plugins you only will have the swap space monitored. This plugin monitors
the virtual monitor physical momory, virtual memory and swapspace. If you look for you swapspace with swap -l
you will see the use of your swapfs and not of the swapspace. Threshold (and alarm) is based on virtual memory (swapfs)

this works perfectly for my debian 7.8 checking for windows 2008 server.

however, when i loaded nagios on deb 8.1, and also checking on the same server, i'm getting errors:
