Hi team,
I would suggest a small enhancement in the GUI regarding showing used memory since the current setup misses an important observation, amount of used memory cached.
If the memory readings are as follows for a server with moderate memory requirements:
$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1048576 870592 177984 0 0 703468
-/+ buffers/cache: 167124 881452
Swap: 524288 2676 521612
The GUI would show:
Memoy usage: Total: 1 GB
Used: 850 MB
This would make me login to the server to see whether something wrong. If however the GUI had given me this information also: Cached: 81% I would not have been worried.
My suggestion is therefore:
