Hi,

it's possible to add improvements to gui in some next release?

1] split used RAM on VM to really used + cache/other
2] show configured overcommit cpu/ram per pve host/cluster

Point 2] is viable when some pve nodes fails to see, if some other host doesn't have overcommited cpu/ram VMs.

Thanks.

sounds reasonable, we could display the sum of cores, memory from running, stopped, and total guests.
could you open a bugzilla feature request entry, https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/


1] split used RAM on VM to really used + cache/other

memory metrics are mostly not intuitive already (in the sense how they get accounted) so not sure if splitting it up into more values is a good idea...
Also we cannot look into the VM for seeing it's page cache usage, especially harder on non Linux VMs...

Now we show what the VM really uses, that's what counts, isn't it? We use even the balloon device to query real VM stats, normally, not just estimate about what the KVM process uses...
So AFAIK, host page cache usage is not there at all.
