Description Paul Gier 2019-10-09 13:19:38 UTC
The openshift dashboard is displaying incorrect values for current memory and disk usage (and probably same issue for CPU as well).  For example, the current memory status is coming from:
(sum(kube_node_status_capacity_memory_bytes) - sum(kube_node_status_allocatable_memory_bytes))[60m:5m]

This value is never going to change over the life of the cluster because the allocatable memory is the total memory that can be used for pods.  It is not the amount of memory currently being used for running pods.

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/reserve-compute-resources/

The fix for this is to either use data coming directly from the nodes (cluster:memory_usage_bytes:sum), or try to calculate the amount of memory currently being used maybe by adding up the container memory usage totals.
