What is cxOsNbSystemMsgFree?

This read-only integer displays the number of message buffers currently free in the system. Admins monitor this alongside cxOsNbBufsFree to detect message-buffer exhaustion that could impact system message processing under load. For example, this value dropping toward zero would prompt an admin to consider raising cxOsNbSystemMsg.
