What kind of Mac?  How much RAM do they have?

We ended up making a monitoring policy to clean up RAM in our RMM console with CCleaner, Comstore Add-on. &nbsp;It seems to be solving and therefore clearing these messages. &nbsp;Ideally, though. &nbsp;They should get more RAM.<br />

We get a lot a lot of these notifications from Mac's about memory usage... &nbsp;&quot;Memory Usage reached 100% (99.0 % Used for 60 mins)&quot; within the policy &quot;Operating System: macOS&quot;.&quot;<br />
Any generic SOP for resolution?

Mac memory usage issues.

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple OS

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.
