The hosts page shows this utility: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/suse/original/1X/9c06f18b3566e7b73f79515bae46ecbd039452bd.png) However logging in to the actual host and running `free -h` shows different result: ```auto # free -h total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 7.8G 6.6G 1.2G 106M 3.0M 443M -/+ buffers/cache: 6.2G 1.6G ``` ---

This might help explain why it looks different. We are using cadvisor to display stats. [https://github.com/google/cadvisor/issues/638](https://github.com/google/cadvisor/issues/638) ---
