Difference between
Consumed, Active, Private, shared, swapped and compressed?
Hi,
I guess you are talking about Memory?
Consumed: Host memory that is allocated to the VM
Active: Guest memory that is beeing used by the VM
Private: Amount of memory stored in the physical host memory for this VM
Shared: Amount of memory shared between multiple VMs with Transparent Page Sharing
Swapped: Memory the host has swapped to a file inside the VM directory to free up host memory
Compressed: Memory that was compressed by the VMkernel to free up space

Tim

What should be monitor if need to monitor the memory performance from the below memory counter?
Consumed: Host memory that is allocated to the VM
Active: Guest memory that is beeing used by the VM
Private: Amount of memory stored in the physical host memory for this VM
Shared: Amount of memory shared between multiple VMs with Transparent Page Sharing
Swapped: Memory the host has swapped to a file inside the VM directory to free up host memory
Compressed: Memory that was compressed by the VMkernel to free up space
When checking into performace tab of vcenter of one VM.
Active Memory showing->Max 4.3GB
Consumed--> Max 15GB
Granted--> Max 16GB
Usage--> 40%
Which counter showing above I need to share with the customer?
Hello,
you can check this:
In the memory section, it probably will show what memory metrics should be checked (and how) to monitor memory performance.
Hope it helps
Best regards,
