/proc/meminfo gives a decent summary.

To watch your ZONE_NORMAL disappearing it would be better to monitor
/proc/zoneinfo. There you'll see `free', `active', `inactive' and
`present'. In /proc/meminfo you'll find the slab utilisation.

It should be approximately true that free+active+inactive+slab = present.
