vCenter Web Client 6.5 incorrect memory active memory usage

Hello,

Good day!

Don't know if there is already a thread opened,however would like to check within the group

Active Memory is what the VMkernel believes is currently being actively used by the VM. Now it should be pointed out here that this is an estimate calculated by a form of statistical sampling.
