# Description of problem: When checking VM statistics via API, mem buffered and mem cached always report '0'. Also, a value is reported via the GUI, however it's different that what is reported on the VM itself ('free -m'). Is this value reliable? # Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ovirt-engine-4.5.3.7-1.el8ev.noarch qemu-guest-agent-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+14707+5aa4b42d.x86_64 (running on RHEL8.6 VM) # How reproducible: Always # Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check VM stats via GUI 2. Check VM stats via API 3. Check VM stats via OS ('free -m') # Actual results: - API always returns '0' - GUI returns a number different to OS ('free -m') # Expected results: - values should be the same # Additional info: 'vdsm-client VM getStats' does not report anything about cached or buffered memory: $ vdsm-client VM getStats vmID="8f5dd144-a234-472a-9d8b-c7c7722f4509" ...
