Configure Free/Used Memory Metric Collection on Linux

You can configure how the Machine Agent calculates the amount of free and used memory on Linux machines. By default, the agent calculates any slab-reclaimable memory as used (not free) memory. To configure the agent to calculate slab-reclaimable memory as free (not used) memory, run Machine Agent with the following command-line argument:

-Dappdynamics.machine.agent.extensions.countSlabReclaimableAsFreeMem=true
