Memory Statistics Test

This test monitors the memory utilization of the Mikrotik router and proactively alerts administrators to potential resource contentions, if any.

Target of the test : A Mikrotik Router

Agent deploying the test : An external agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Mikrotik Router being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The IP address of the router for which this test is to be configured.
SSH Username and SSH Password	Specify the credentials of a user who has the right to execute CLI (command-line interface) commands on the target router and pull out metrics via SSH.
Confirm Password	Confirm the SSH Password by retyping it here.

SSH Timeout	Specify the duration (in seconds) beyond which the execution of this test should time out in this text box. The default is 10 seconds.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Total memory	Indicates the total amount of memory allotted for the router.	MB
Used memory	Indicates the amount of memory utilized by the router.	MB	A low value is desired for this measure.
Free memory	Indicates the amount of memory that is available for use by the router.	MB	A high value is desired for this measure.
Used memory utilization	Indicates the percentage of memory that was utilized by the router.	Percent	A utilization value close to 100% is indicative of a memory bottleneck at the router.
