Hi all,

We have a machine agent  installed on a Linux box with SIM enabled and we see the memory usage is constantly shown as 5% though it varies when checked on the server manually, PFB.

PS: All other data such as diskspace, CPU and network are reporting with correct values and the issue is only with the memory usage.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

So according to this: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Standalone+Machine+Agent+Requirements+and+Supported+Envir...

You need to have the zypperinstallprocps library installed for SUSE. The agent is only compatible with SUSE 11, 12, and 15. 

Hope this helps.
