I've got a report that mamagement wants listing statistics on various hardware 
resources over time and trending future use.  Easy enough, especially with OEM 
10g for cross platforms, as I've now got a procedure to query 
sysman.mgmt$metric_hourly/daily.  The problem is with memory, in that as 
discussed before, normally it shows nearly fully allocated due to filesystem 
cache.  I'd subtract that number out but it seems that OEM 10g doesn't gather 
that info, at least by default.

Anyone have a good way of dealing with this?  Should I create user metric to 
pull in "vmstat" buff and cache values, used to subtract from used memory to 
get a more real picture?  Seems like a dumb fix but I can't come up with any 
other way.  I know managment won't understand that just because memory shows as 
99% used all the time its really not.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Dave
