Please correct the typo in “RAM Information” section. The command for viewing hardware info about RAM is “dmidecode” and not “demidecode”.
And it also requires root privileges.

Very Helpful article though. Thanks!

That’s a great article, thank you for the commands.

I’ll definitely use them in order to monitor my RAM.

Any thoughts about memory monitoring using modern solutions such as Prometheus and Grafana?
