memSysAvail
Module: UCD-SNMP-MIB
OID (symbolic): UCD-SNMP-MIB::memSysAvail
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.27
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: CounterBasedGauge64
Access: read-only
Description: The total amount of available memory, which is an estimate of how much memory is available for starting new applications, without swapping.
This object will not be implemented on hosts where the underlying operating system does not explicitly identify memory as specifically reserved for this purpose.
What is memSysAvail?
This OID reports an estimate, in kilobytes, of how much memory is available for starting new applications without triggering swapping, on hosts that track this figure explicitly. An admin uses it as a more realistic headroom number than raw free memory, since it can account for reclaimable cache.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.27 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> UCD-SNMP-MIB::memSysAvail
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.27.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> UCD-SNMP-MIB::memSysAvail.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> memSysAvail.1
