Host Memory Status (PI_HMI)

Function

This record stores performance data on a physical server's physical memory over a unit of time. This record is a single-instance record.

In this record, you can view performance data such as physical memory usage details, usage details by VMM, and swap usage. The figure below shows an example of data that can be collected in this record.

#
The value used in [[Figure]hh:mm] varies depending on the time zone of the monitored host. For example, if the monitored virtual environment is operating according to JST, +09:00 is displayed. If the monitored virtual environment is operating according to UTC, Z is displayed.
