Memory Summary differs from top results

[Sasha]

Hi, guys.

Here You are a Summary of PVE host from ProxMox web
RAM usage 56.27% (35.28 GiB of 62.70 GiB)

Here You are an top results
KiB Mem : 65748940 total, 6626628 free, 36904272 used, 22218040 buff/cache

I don't undestand what is the sense in Summary, that doesn't show real situation wtih Memory.
Appreciate for Your explanations.

Hi,

the free definition is different.
The Proxmox VE GUI defined free as mem_free + buffers + cached.
The reason is memory like buffer and cached can be released if necessary.

top defined free as unused memory.

I don't think ProxMox understand the matter of using buffers inside container. For my case it's Oracle DB and it can't be freed without harm.
It would be great to have an option for adjusting it in ProxMox GUI.

Thnak You.
