#!/bin/bash

# Checks for the percentage of memory free and errors if it is below the configured value. Note: Check is for both physical and swap memory usage
# Script accepts 3 env variables:
# "ok" should be passed in the script in the format: ok=30. If an env var is not set, the script will assume the threshold of 30.
# "min" should be passed in the script in the format: min=10. If an env var is not set, the script will assume the threshold of 10.
# "errormin" should be passed in the script in the format: errormin=2. If an env var is not set, the script will assume the threshold of 2.

# If free physical mem is less than min, the script will check swap.
# If swap is more than ok amount, the script gives a warning.
# If swap is less than ok amount, the script gives a warning.
# If swap is also lower than min, the script gives an error.
