memoryAvailableBytes

Module: INFORMANT-STD

OID (symbolic): INFORMANT-STD::memoryAvailableBytes

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.1.2.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Gauge32

Access: read-only

Description: Available Bytes is the amount of physical memory available to processes running on the computer, in bytes. It is calculated by summing space on the Zeroed, Free, and Stand by memory lists. Free memory is ready for use; Zeroed memory are pages of memory filled with zeros to prevent later processes from seeing data used by a previous process. Standby memory is memory removed from a process' working set (its physical memory) on route to disk, but is still available to be recalled. This counter displays the last observed value only; it is not an average.

What is memoryAvailableBytes?

This Gauge32 reports physical memory (RAM) available to processes, in bytes, summing the zeroed, free, and standby memory lists; it's a last-observed snapshot (not an average), so admins watch it directly for a memory-pressure warning when it trends toward zero.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.1.2.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> INFORMANT-STD::memoryAvailableBytes

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.1.2.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> INFORMANT-STD::memoryAvailableBytes.1

Start monitoring Windows server running the SNMP Informant agent (standard disk/memory counters) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the INFORMANT-STD::memoryAvailableBytes OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Windows server running the SNMP Informant agent (standard disk/memory counters) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Windows server running the SNMP Informant agent (standard disk/memory counters) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type memoryAvailableBytes into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the available Bytes is the amount of physical memory available to processes running on the computer, in bytes. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Gauge32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value drifts significantly from its normal baseline, since an unexpected change often points to a real underlying issue. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
