Memory is active when it is being used by a process running in memory. This value should be less than or equal to memInUse. A high value may indicate a system with insufficient memory.

SNMP source: 1.3.6.1.4.1.546.1.1.7.8.10

Category: mem

SNMP source: 1.3.6.1.4.1.546.1.1.7.8.32

Category: mem

Associated CIM class: CA_ComputerSystem

Memory Usage [Byte]

The total real Bytes of memory in use that is sampled over a fixed period. The sampling interval is system-dependent. In SunOS, the kernel updates this parameter once every 5 seconds.
