13.4.4.3. Cluster section
The Cluster section provides a more detailed view of cluster-wide memory behavior over a range of time. This section includes the following panels:
| Panel | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Memory Utilization & Requests | Time series | Displays the total node memory capacity alongside actual memory utilization split into virtualization and non-virtualization workloads. This panel also shows the memory request plan (system-reserved requests and pod requests) so that you can compare actual usage to the scheduler expectations. |
| Cluster Utilization | Gauge | Displays the aggregated memory utilization of the nodes in the cluster. This panel also appears in the Summary section. |
| Virtual Memory Assignment | Time series | This panel displays the worst-case scenario if all virtual memory is used at present. It shows total node capacity, utilization without virtualization, and non-virtualization utilization combined with the total assigned VM memory. If the VM assigned virtual memory line nears or exceeds Node capacity, the cluster risks out-of-memory conditions under full VM memory pressure. |
| Cluster Virtual Committed | Gauge | Displays the percentage of committed virtual memory out of all of the allocatable physical memory. This panel also appears in the Summary section. |
| Cluster - Memory Pressure | Time series |
Shows cluster-level memory PSI rates for |
| Cluster - Aggregated Swap | Time series | Shows total swap capacity and usage across all the nodes that you select. Rising swap usage indicates memory pressure that has not yet caused PSI stalls. |
