Hi Team,

would be great if somebody could define the memory specific columns of the Guest VM tab. I particular:

1. Difference between Consumed and Provisioned Memory and in what situation is it worth to have a closer look at both columns?

2. How is Used Memory defined? Is it average or peak? What is the sampling method and time?

thanks

  I just did a demo with a bunch of engineers. And this was the first question that came up and I had no idea how to answer the discrepancy between Free, Used, Provisioned, from the Memory Used graph to the Hypervisor tab. I assume that Provisioned is what the general scope of the sizing is based on, but how do the others factor in?
