Using the Memory Machine Dashboard
You can view system resources and performance metrics, and create and restore snapshots in MemVerge Memory Machine using the Memory Machine Dashboard, a web UI application running on one of the installed hosts.
Viewing Metrics and System Status
The Memory Machine Dashboard makes it easy to view and compare running processes, snapshots, system resources and performance metrics.
Viewing Detailed Server Memory and CPU Usage
To focus on information about a particular host, choose the Host Overview Console.

Overview and Installation
Getting started with MemVerge Memory Machine requries that you understand some background information about how persistent memory works. You can then install Memory Machine on a server and begin monitoring memory usage and capturing application snapshots.
Using the Memory Machine Dashboard
You can view system resources and performance metrics, and create and restore snapshots in MemVerge Memory Machine using the Memory Machine Dashboard, a web UI application running on one of the installed hosts.
- Getting Familiar with the Memory Machine Dashboard
  Memory Machine Dashboard is a web-based user interface (UI) from which an administrator can view memory and processor statistics and capture and restore application snapshots on any number of servers under management by a Memory Machine instance.
- Managing Applications
  You can view and stop application instances from the Applications Console. Application instances must be started using the command line.
- Using Snapshots in Memory Machine Dashboard
  Use ZeroIO Snapshot from Memory Machine Dashboard to capture the state of a running process, then later restore the running process to the state captured in the snapshot, all from a graphical web interface.
- Viewing Metrics and System Status
  The Memory Machine Dashboard makes it easy to view and compare running processes, snapshots, system resources and performance metrics.
  - Viewing Persistent and Volatile Memory Usage
    To view the total memory used on all managed hosts, view the Global Dashboard.
  - Viewing Detailed Server Memory and CPU Usage
    To focus on information about a particular host, choose the Host Overview Console.
  - Viewing Memory Usage Trends
    The DRAM and PMEM Bandwidth Panels and Usage Panels on the Host Overview Console show volatile and persistent memory usage over time.
  - Viewing Application and Instance Memory Usage
    Use the Memory Machine Memory Consumption Treemap to view memory usage at the application and instance levels.
  - Searching the Memory Machine
    Search globally for almost any entity, including hosts, applications, instances, and snapshots, using the Global Search Icon.
  - Viewing Jobs
    Scheduled processes are called jobs. These include snapshot capture, on-demand export and import, and usage reports.
Using the Command Line Interface
You can administer and use MemVerge Memory Machine using the Command Line Interface (CLI) on any installed host.
Working with Applications
MemVerge provides additional instructions for some popular applications supported by Memory Machine, either to assist with complex setup or to support additional functionality.

Viewing Detailed Server Memory and CPU Usage

To focus on information about a particular host, choose the Host Overview Console.

Procedure

Choose Host Overview Console from the Console Selector. See Changing Consoles.
From the Host Selector Dropdown, choose the host you want to view.
View a summary of information about the host, including IP address; operating system release and kernel version; CPU usage; and a summary of alerts for that host. See The Host Overview Console.
To the right of the host information, view the Host DRAM Usage and Host PMEM Usage panels. The DRAM panel shows how much of available DRAM is being used for Memory Machine tiering (caching).

Results

The Memory Usage Value (volatile plus persistent) and the CPU Usage Value are shown near the top of the display beneath the Server Name Value. See The Host Overview Console.
