Memory plug-in
Using the Memory plug-in of SSC Serv allows you to collect information about the physical memory and page file utilization of a Windows machine.
SSC Serv is a native Windows service which collects system metrics periodically and sends them to a collectd server for processing and storage. No remote access to the Windows machine is required. The service is running on the Windows server and sends data, allowing the Windows server to be locked down tightly for maximum security. SSC Serv is very light-weight, integrates well with Windows and doesn't get in the way.
Example graph
Collected metrics
The Memory plug-in collects the utilization of physical memory and the page file in bytes.
Physical Memory
Physical memory metrics are collected with plugin set to memory and without a plugin instance.
available
Physical memory available for allocation, i.e. currently unused memory.system_cache
Memory used for caching file system access.system_driver
Pageable physcal memory used by device drivers.system_code
Pageable operating system code residing in physical memory.pool_paged
Size of the pagable pool, kernel memory that can be paged out to disk.pool_nonpaged
Size of the not pagable pool, kernel memory that cannot be paged out to disk.working_set
Physical memory that is part of the working set of one or more processes.
Page File
used
Currently committed bytes. This counts both, bytes in physical memory and bytes paged out to disk.free
Available bytes. This also takes into consideration both, pysical memory and page files available on disk.
