EPO Agent and Reclaimable Capacity

So I've been struggling with this for a while and maybe someone here has an answer; how do I use specific metrics from a VM's EPO Agent in the Reclaimable Capacity calculation?  Being able to use the free buffers/cache metric would be very useful for Linux VMs specifically.

Otherwise, what are folks doing out there to right-size VM's using both hypervisor and guestOS data?

As far as I know, it is not possible to usre EPO agent metrics for the reclaimable capacity calculation. This KB article explains which metrics are used for which calculation;

To interpret the reclaimable capacity, you have to add the performance metrics to identify if the reclaimable capacity makes any sense. You can add this metrics together in a dashboard or report.
