use "show memory free" for an accurate listing of inuse memory on the switch. If the memory is really all being used you can use "show mem summ" or " show proc mem" to find the runaway proscess.

Most likely though the Solarwinds tool is reporting the usage of the I/O memory in use or misreporting. Check with the vendor.
