MemoryΒΆ
Glances uses two columns: one for the RAM
and one for the SWAP
.

If enough space is available, Glances displays extended information for
the RAM
:

A character is also displayed just after the MEM header and shows the trend value:
Trend | Status |
---|---|
- |
MEM value is equal to the mean of the six latests refreshes |
\ |
MEM value is lower than the mean of the six latests refreshes |
/ |
MEM value is higher than the mean of the six latests refreshes |
Alerts are only set for used memory and used swap.
Legend:
RAM/Swap | Status |
---|---|
<50% |
OK |
>50% |
CAREFUL |
>70% |
WARNING |
>90% |
CRITICAL |
Note
Limit values can be overwritten in the configuration file under
the [memory]
and/or [memswap]
sections.
