Memory Reporting

We are encountering an issue where the Orion Memory use does not match the memory use according to Windows Task Manager or Perfmon. We have multiple servers (physical, virtual, and different OS)

An example of this is that Orion shows 38%, but Task Manager shows 94% on the same server

Does anyone know how Orion reports the memory use?

Thanks,

Hello,
do you refer to APM monitoring or general memory monitoring for Nodes? Where exactly is the memory usage number you are referring to on Orion web? What exactly are you monitoring? Specific process memory? Computer free memory using performance counter?

In general, Orion uses SNMP to get computer free memory if available. If you have APM applications created, then for example process memory is monitored through WMI or SNMP depending on monitor type.
