Memory Utilization

Memory Utilization reports present minimum, maximum, and average memory utilization for one or more devices you specify.

(Report Options). Jump to a detailed dashboard or control panel for:
- Device Properties.
- Device Status (Device Status, Device Status).
- State Change Timeline
Device. Device identifier.
Description. Type of memory. For example, Physical Memory.
Size. Total memory capacity of monitored host.
Min. Minimum 'in-use' memory footprint on the device.
Max. Maximum amount of memory in use on the device.
Avg. Displays value of average usage when you select a range of time (for example, Today). Displays value for total usage observed for a point in time when you select Last Polled.
Min % Used. Minimum percentage observed.
Max % Used. Maximum percentage observed.
% Avg. Displays average percent used if you selected a range of time (for example, Today). Displays value for total usage observed for a point in time if you selected Last Polled.
Poll Time. Time when memory capacity measurements were retrieved from the device.

Generate a report

Choose Device. Choose one or more host devices you want Memory Utilization information for. (Virtual machines show only allocated resources)

Choose time constraints. (,) Choose times for the Memory Utilization. (For recently observed measurements, select Last Polled from the Date Range drop down list.)

Sort and pick columns. Sort and pick columns.

Chart, adjust output, and visualize. Fine tune report presentation and range of values displayed using the Report Setting dialog (optional).

Note: This report only returns Memory Utilization metrics for devices that already have the appropriate WMI or SNMP credentials. For more information, see Using Credentials.

Note: Memory Utilization report only returns metrics for devices that already have the appropriate performance monitoring enabled. To enable these polled measurements, see Memory Utilization Monitor.

Control	Purpose
Device	Browse and choose a single device.
Device Group	Choose an existing group of one or more devices. You can also create custom or dynamic groups.

Control	Purpose
Date Range	Choose or define an overall date range.
Business hours	Focus on specific days of the week and periods within each day. Reveal trends that are sensitive to business hours, time zones, and other periodic attributes in the observed data.

Control	Purpose
Sort.	Sort column in ascending or descending order.
Columns.	Pick the columns you want to view. Click a check box to display the column. Clear the check box to hide it.

Control	Purpose
Show Top n Items	Limit items to the samples with the highest (or lowest) latency.
Threshold Type	Switch between minimum or maximum mode for cutoff values for the ranked list. At or Over. Show peak usage period. (Latency percentage equal to or greater than Threshold.) At or Under. Show usage periods where resources are unused or possibly down. (Latency percentage equal to or less than Threshold.)
Threshold (percent)	Baseline value used to trim ranked device list based on peak or subpeak capacity when returning the Top n.

Control	Purpose
Display Options	Present data as a chart, a table grid, or both.
Chart Type	Gauge charts . Available when you select a Date Range of Last Polled . Time series . Available when you select a Date Range interval (Today , for example). Line/Area. Scatter graph that connects adjacent measurements with straight lines. Spline/Area Spline. Choose a graph with a smoothed appearance where adjacent samples exhibit a gradual slope.
Chart Options	Legend, Grid Lines, Range Selector. Include legend, grid lines, and range selector for readability. Trend Lines. Present data with a smoothed average to show trend.
