Monitoring Unix servers CPU, memory and hard-disk

[James E. Pratt]

Kinda off-topic, but why on earth would you care much about memory
details on a Linux box? Most memory is cached, so output from, say,
"free" is kinda useless. (Not sure where that plugin gets it's info
though either?).. IMO You are much better off monitoring loadavg . (Or,
am I just losing it?)
