Hello oVirt community,

If you select a VM, it will open up the sub tabs at the bottom of the web admin. On the general tab in the second column it will list defined memory, guaranteed memory as well as cpu information.
In oVirt 4.0.4, I can see ram/cpu usage in a very nice way, but I can not access easily the total RAM and number of CPUs. The only way to find this information in GUI is to edit a vm and see the system tab (and that's when the "edit" context menu is available, which is not always)
Am I missing something? This information is very usefull and sometimes critical (when migrating VM to hosts which are already low on free RAM, specially when balloning is involved)
I would like to see this information always on screen, like a (un)checkable column... does it seem doable ? Maybe it would be possible to show it while hoovering the memory/cpu information with the mouse ?
Please forgive me if this is not the rigth place to post this question/request.

Alexander, Thanks for your help. Indeed, you are right! But only on the VM listing. When on the "Hosts listing", in the tab below you can quickly see the running VM (on that host), but you have no quick way to find the RAM/CPU information (since there isn't a below "below tab") This is specially annoying when we are trying to migrate VM between hosts, and have no easy information on ressource usage of each VM. I hope I do not come accross as rude, oVirt is a great peace of software and we are mostly satisfied with it. It's just sometimes frustrating to loose extra time to search this important information cordialement, regards, Nelson LAMEIRAS Lyra Network Service Projets et Processus Tel : +33 (0) 5 32 09 09 70 109 rue de l’innovation 31670 Labège - France www.lyra-network.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexander Wels" <awels@redhat.com> To: users@ovirt.org Cc: "Nelson Lameiras" <nelson.lameiras@lyra-network.com> Sent: Friday, September 30, 2016 2:57:56 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] quick way to see total RAM and CPU count on VM listing On Thursday, September 29, 2016 4:46:53 PM EDT Nelson Lameiras wrote:

Would you mind opening an issue about it, so we can see what can be done in future versions to improve this? Y.
