I'm wondering the same thing myself. I could call Redhat but that
company is almost as bad as MS when it comes to feature requests.
I could write a script that collects it at the same frequency as sar,
but we have users that get upset when a process is running on a machine
since it could "slow them down". Office politics mostly. I liked sar
because that was already running in the background so they had nothing
to complain about. What irks me - sar is collecting the information
that it does have out of the meminfo file, if not directly, indirectly.
:(
