ESXi 5.5.0 Host memory status alert

One of my hosts has triggered a "Host memory status" warning on its alerts tab.

I checked under the hardware status tab and saw the following:

So it is saying there is a memory warning at the top level of the memory category, however there are no further warnings or other information if I drill down below that.

How can I understand what this warning means?

It looks like this KB article might be what you are looking for: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=206109...

It suggests that you clear the hardware logs on the server, reset the event log, and reboot the host. Hopefully that clears it up.
