Memory Usage Cloudron vs VPS Panel

[IniBudi]

Hi, I just noticed that there's discrepancy report between memory usage on the Cloudron vs VPS Panel.

This is the memory usage report from Cloudron:

And this is from my VPS panel:

Is it something normal or unusual?
Thank you.

Hello @inibudi
Without the legend of the memory graph it is difficult to distinguish which line is what.
I just did a quick check.

free -h
total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           3.8Gi       1.6Gi       874Mi        49Mi       1.5Gi       2.2Gi
Swap:          3.8Gi       228Mi       3.6Gi

which is pretty accurate.

@james hmm here's the line.

The memory server usage is mostly full, report from VPS Panel.

But on Cloudron panel, it has more space.

Hello @inibudi
I am not sure what your VPS provider is even displaying with this graph.
It is just labeled Memory and has no other indication.
Is it whole system memory, memory used, memory and swap combined?

When you connect to your server and run free -h you can see the memory values.
Maybe compare that to Cloudron and your VPS to figure out what the VPS graph is trying to show.

We took this topic as feedback to improve our graph for memory.
The graph is showing memory used.
We now added a % scale to the right Y-axis and to the tooltip.
Note that the lines are stacked, so they align in addition of each other.

In this screenshot 1.23 GiB + 0.89 GiB = 2.12 GiB at the left Y-axis and 15.40 % + 11.14 % = 26.54 % at the right Y-axis.
