Hello,
I am starting with PRTG and have a few questions regarding Mac OS X.
I would like to monitor memory total memory usage and memory usage by the process if that is possible. I enabled SNMP and SSH on Mac OS X 10.10.5
SNMP Linux Meminfo sensor shows error:
"0 % (Swap Free Percent) is below the error limit of 10 % in Swap Free Percent - 0 % (Physical Free Percent) is below the error limit of 10 % in Physical Free Percent - 0 % (Total Free Percent) is below the error limit of 10 % in Total Free Percent"
Only Available Memory shows correct measurement.
What should I do to correct this? Also is there a way to get a list of processes and their memory usage?
Thank you.

I see... Would there be a script that can do this kind of thing? For memory overview I am using SNMP Linux Meminfo since I saw that SSH isn't supported on the Mac OS X.

You might want to try the SNMP Memory Sensor which is "vendor neutral" since it polls the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB. If you're unable to use SSH you won't be able to use scripts I'm afraid.

Hi there,
I'm afraid that there's no native sensor to poll the memory usage per process on MacOS / Linux, the Windows-only "Windows Process" sensor uses WMI, which is Microsoft-specific.
Which exact sensor are you using for memory? The sensor's name can be spotted in the sensor's overview.
