Maybe there is some subtlety here that I am missing? Taking one of my hosts as an example (running 4.2 - not sure if the code has changed in 4.3?) $ head -5 /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 263695240 kB MemFree: 80087284 kB MemAvailable: 137272368 kB Buffers: 79620 kB Cached: 7758272 kB While in the oVIrt GUI it reports 257514 MB total 172534 MB used 84980 MB free And from the Host page it reports memory utilisation as 67%, which roughly equates to used / total. (total - available) / total would give a value more like 50%. ---- On Mon, 16 Mar 2020 14:39:16 +0000 Michal Skrivanek <michal.skrivanek@redhat.com> wrote ---- On 13 Mar 2020, at 18:55, Alan G <mailto:alan+ovirt@griff.me.uk> wrote: I've observed that oVirt considers cache/buffer memory as "used”. Where do you see that? So a host can report, for example, 10% memory utilisation when hosting 0 VMs. A reboot of the host will of course free all that memory and the host will again report something close to 0%. This caused me a shock a few weeks ago when I thought my cluster was running out of memory. Given that the kernel will give back the buffer memory as required, is it not perhaps a bit misleading to count it as "used"? it is not counted as used, https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/blob/95d734bace00b87a17d333ac1871a489b1812160/... ---- On Fri, 13 Mar 2020 17:47:34 +0000 Michal Skrivanek <mailto:michal.skrivanek@redhat.com> wrote ----

Hi,
My ovirt engine is showing wrong host's memory usage. Even when this one has no VM. How to fix it ?
What’s wrong with it?
