What are valid reasons to monitor MemFree or Active as opposed to MemUsable?

3

How to monitor memory usage for alarming purpose talks about the reasons to use MemUsable as the proper metric for alarming on memory, however I still see a lot of instances of alarming on Active or MemFree. What are some reasons that you'd want to monitor these metrics in addition to or instead of MemUsable?
