Insights Menu Item

The insights menu allows you to monitor running processes and obtain detailed memory insights such as memory usage and hot working set size of time. For more information, see the Application Memory Insights section.

Light or Dark UI Selector

Use the selector to switch between light and dark mode.

MemVerge Product Version

The Memverge product version is shown on the upper right portion of the UI.

System Information

The system information displays an overview of the current system. The information displayed includes:

  • Hostname
  • Total Memory
  • DRAM + CXL Capacity
  • Current Total Memory Usage as a capacity and percentage
  • DRAM
  • DRAM Capacity in the system across all CPU sockets
  • DRAM Usage as a capacity and percentage
  • CXL Type 3 Memory
  • CXL Capacity in the system across all CPU sockets
  • CXL Usage as a capacity and percentage

System Topology

The system topology shows the installed CPU Sockets, DRAM Modules, and CXL Type 3 Memory Devices. The topology is based on the automatic detection of devices in the system. If devices are known to be installed but do not display in the topology, you can add missing devices or customize detected device information using Customize the CXL System Topology UI.

Hover over each device to show more information about the selected device. Here are some examples:

Detailed CPU Information

Detailed CXL Device Information

cxl-info-hover

System Metrics

The system metrics area displays the CPU Usage, Memory Usage, and Memory Throughput of DRAM and CXL. Each chart shows the following information.

CPU Utilization:

  • %Idle
  • %Busy User
  • %Busy System
  • %Busy IRQs
  • %Busy IOWait
  • %Busy Other

Memory Usage (Capacity):

  • All Online CXL Devices
  • All Online DRAM Modules

Memory Throughput (MiB/Second) is an aggregate across all Online DRAM and CXL devices:

  • Reads from all DRAM Modules
  • Writes to all DRAM Modules
  • Reads from all Online CXL Memory Devices
  • Writes to all Online CXL Memory Devices

System Metrics Date/Time Selector

By default, the charts show the most recent 5 minutes of data. You can select from the list of options to see historical information.
