An extended memory checker for Linux using physical memory and swap togehter in
one check. It uses the following formula to calculate the free ram:


free = (physical used + swap used) - (physical free + swap free +
buffers + disk cache)

There is also an icinga2 sample config and a template for pnp4nagios included.
