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 identifier.
- . Type of memory. For example, Physical Memory.
- . Total memory capacity of monitored host.
- . Minimum 'in-use' memory footprint on the device.
- . Maximum amount of memory in use on the device.
- . Displays value of average usage when you select a range of time (for example, ). Displays value for total usage observed for a point in time when you select .
- . Minimum percentage observed.
- . Maximum percentage observed.
- . Displays average percent used if you selected a range of time (for example, ). Displays value for total usage observed for a point in time if you selected .
- . Time when memory capacity measurements were retrieved from the device.

. 
Choose one or more host devices you want Memory Utilization information for. (Virtual machines show only allocated resources)
Use the Select Device dialog for one of the following:

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.
|
: You can organize devices into custom or dynamic groups. For more information, see Grouping Devices.
: If a device is identified as a virtual machine, Hyper-V or VMware credentials will be used to retrieve data and only those physical resources allocated to the virtual machine will be visible in the report.

|
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.

Display Options
|
Present data as a chart, a table grid, or both.
|
Chart Type
|
- Gauge charts
 . Available when you select a Date Range of . - Time series
 . Available when you select a Date Range interval (, 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.
|
: Trend lines represent a moving average that can be compared with line and area graphs to reveal peak and sub peak intervals.
: This report only returns Memory Utilization metrics for devices that already have the appropriate WMI or SNMP credentials. For more information, see Using Credentials.
: 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.
Export report data
Report data can be exported from WhatsUp Gold, reused, and distributed in multiple formats. Select (
) from the Dashboard Options (
) menu. After the report has been expanded, select the Export Data icon to access the following options:
- . Generate and download a .htm file presenting your report data as it appears in the WhatsUp Gold user interface.
- . Generate and download a .xml spreadsheet containing your report data.
- .Generate and download a .csv file containing your report data.
- Generate and download a .txt file containing your report data.
- . Set a recurring date and time, format, and email destination for report data export.
: Current report data file format options are only applicable to export schedules created using WhatsUp Gold version 2021 and later. Any report data export schedule created using an earlier version of WhatsUp Gold will still result in a .PDF output until that schedule is removed from, then recreated in the Scheduled Reports Library using the latest version of WhatsUp Gold.
