This plugin is loosely inspired by check_mem v1.1 from Lukasz Gogolin
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/System-Metrics/Memory/check_mem-2Esh/details
I did a code rewrite and added a check of "free" version, because since procps-ng 3.3.0+ (RHEL 7+) check_mem.sh doesn't work anymore as it is (buff/cache column)
See Github or website for last version
check_mem_ng.sh 1.1
Usage:
* check_mem_ng.sh [-w] [-c ] [-v] [-l]
- checks local host available memory
- warnlevel and critlevel is percentage value without %
- defaults being respectively 80 et 90
- add -v for verbose (debuging purpose)
- add -l for legacy perfdata mode (or change LEGACY_PERFDATA variable in script)
* check_mem_ng.sh -V
- prints version
* check_mem_ng.sh -h
- prints help (this message)
Similarities/differences between check_mem.sh:
- Both don't need much to run: only bash, free and awk
- Compatible with "free" binary from either procps AND procps-ng (newer) whereas check_mem.sh is not
- Same basic syntax, you can exchange both scripts without changing your Nagios(r) configuration much
- You can choose to keep perfdata identical to check_mem.sh OR display a modern graph with min/max bounds and warning/critical lines
- Added defaults to warn and critical, and help/version/verbose/legacy_perfdata flags
Output:
./check_mem_ng.sh
OK: Memory below thresholds. Total: 7984 MB - Used: 288 MB - 3% used. | Memory_Used=302661632;6698119987;7535384985;0;8372649984

check_mem_ng.sh needs bc which is not installed by default on Debian
LEGACY_PERFDATA prints buffer and cache separately. I guess that is for backwards compatibility with check_mem.sh

I just today ran into the problem you noted about procps-ng and the buff/cache column and subsequently found this new version! Working great! Thank you!!
