# Bash script to alert when memory gets low

Date: 2019-03-19

I have a mem leak in some servers, and I want to monitor when and how is the problematic process.

The easiest way that I found is based on [A4I](https://blog.al4.co.nz/2010/10/simple-script-to-alert-when-memory-gets-low/) post.

I wrote a gist script 

And to install it just copy paste to the server terminal:

<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>EMAIL=[your-email] SERVER=[server=name] bash -c 'curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/EranGoldman/0ca544e933179c8401ecc09524d5341e/raw/ef20385315def74f81bf14c884a9a5ea9a0de357/memalert.sh | sudo -E bash'
</code></pre>
