This plugin provides native memory instrumentation for monitoring and metrics collection, including: memory usage via `free` and `vmstat`, including metrics. Note that this plugin may have cross-platform issues.
On systems using a different locale than English the output parsing of free does not work, since it depends on the output being in the English language. Explicitly setting LANG=C helps to ensure the output can be parsed regardless of the locale settings.
