  17 <h1>Module: memuse</h1>
  18
  19 Displays current memory/swap usage.  It does not count buffers or the
  20 page cache as 'used'.<p>
  21
  22 <h2>Current platforms</h2>
  23
  24 Linux<p>
  25
  26 <h2>Instances</h2>
  27 single only<p>
  28
  29 <h2>additional resources</h2>
  30
  31 none<p>
  32
  33 Note that the refresh frequency for this module should not be set too
  34 high at the moment; reading /proc/meminfo in Linux 2.0 through current
  35 2.3 is much more expensive than you'd expect.  The 'mongo low latency'
  36 pathes for 2.3 correct this problem.<p>
  37
  38 <h2>Resource defaults</h2>
  39
  40 Resource defaults explicitly altered from the global defaults by this
  41 module:
  42
  43 <ul>
  44 <li>bar.0.label: memory (<em>total</em>)
  45 <li>bar.1.label: swap (<em>total</a>)
  46 <li>litbackground: #e8d088
  47 <li>order: 101
  48 <li>scalerefresh: 2000
  49 <li>scalewidadj: 160
  50 </ul>
  51
  52 <h2>Possible enhancements</h2>
  53
  54 Could (and should) be extended to use vmstat/iostat utilities on
  55 platforms other than Linux (eg, Solaris *BSD).<p>

  64 MGM will not get your whites whiter or your colors brighter.  It will,
  65 however, sit there and look spiffy while sucking down a major
  66 honking wad of RAM.<p>
