Memory usage is wrongly reported to the controller from Linux Machine agent ver 4.5.x

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.

free -m

free -g

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.
