when the free memory is below defined maximum value
this is the problem, this statement is veiled in double negatives
When a quantity is below a "Maximum" value then this is should be
considered normal
when a quantity exceeds a Maximum value this should be considered an error
condition
but this is not the case - when free memory falls below the threshold of
MaxFreeMemoryforOverUtlized we are overutilized

Hi, it is just a matter of perspective:
MaxFreeMemoryforOverUtlized - the host is considered over utilized
when the free memory is below defined maximum value
MinFreeMemoryforUnderUtilized - the host is considered under utilized
when the free memory is at least the defined minimal value
Best regards
