You may run the need to view those Containers that are using extensively your Hardware Node total memory, comprising the physical memory, or RAM, and the swap memory. This functionality allows you to avoid the Node overcommit and the consequent Containers operation impairments. The Memory subtab opens a screen where you can monitor the total memory consumption on your Hardware Node. The Memory table represents the physical and swap memory consumption:
Physical memory |
The percentage of the current Hardware Node utilization in terms of allocated memory. |
Swap Space |
The percentage of the current Hardware Node utilization in terms of allocated swap space. The bar is not displayed if swapping is not configured on the Node. |
RAM+Space |
The total percentage of the current Hardware Node utilization in terms of both allocated memory and, if swapping is on, swap space. |
The statistics results are presented in the following table:
Column Name |
Description |
ID |
The ID assigned to the Container. |
Name |
The name of the Container consuming the stated amount of the total Hardware Node memory. |
Usage Graph |
The bar representing graphically the usage of the resource in bytes or percent, depending on the view mode configured. |
Used Memory Share |
The percentage of the total memory used by the Container from the overall Hardware Node total memory available. |
Used Memory |
The total memory consumed by the Container, in megabytes. |
You can have Parallels Infrastructure Manager display only those parameters you need at the moment. To show or hide certain columns, click the Select Columns link and select the parameters you want to be displayed or clear those you do not.
The View Properties section allows you to define the following parameters to govern the statistics results by selecting the appropriate value on the drop-down menu:
Note: Setting the view mode to one type of graphical representation for one resource affects the appearance of the usage scale for all the others. Thus, if you select to view the resource statistics against the top consumer, the usage scale bar will show the consumption percentage (the coloured segment of the bar against the total bar length) for the rest of the resources featured under the Resources tab.
