Cluster Memory Metrics

I'm looking at the metrics available for the "Compute Cluster Resource" Resource Kind.  I know that each of my physical servers in the cluster has 128GB of memory installed in it.  I want to know the total amount of memory installed in the cluster.  So if I had 10 hosts I would have 1280GB of RAM.

I would like to select the metric that will give me this number.

Here are the choices:

Memory - Provisioned Memory (KB)

Memory - Total Capacity (KB)

Memory - Usable Memory (KB)

Memory - Effective Memory Resources (KB)

Planning - Capacity Provisioned - Memory

Which one will give me what I am looking for the entire cluster?

That would be provisioned memory you would be after. its the total physical memory that's provisioned

Total Capacity is the total available capacity after hosts from HA are removed or buffers put in place
