Memory Utilization greater than 95%

Hi I can see that Memory utilization is more than 95%, in that only "Other Memory" is consuming most of it.

I know Other Memory is linux related and it keeps most for buffering. but I keep on getting the alerts from monitoring tool.

Is there any way to fix it?

below is the free and top output of the mem usage. Kindly help me in it.
