Hi,

I've a server with 8Go of ram but the memory usage graph only shows 4Go. I don't modify the "Graph Template: Linux - Memory Usage"....

Please perform an snmpwalk against those host memory OIDs and post results. And a screenshot of the graph, please

I believe you're mistakenly polling the wrong machine.
My guess is, the 8 GB machine is not the one running Cacti, and the one running Cacti has 4 GB.
If I'm right, read graphing a linux remote host

The Linux templates only operate on Localhost (Cacti Box). Try the net/ucd SNMP templates. They work better, but you may have to increase the Maximum value in the Data Template for the memory amounts. If you have large memory servers, you may miss the values. Simply add a few 0's to the Max values.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
