Noticing high CVM memory?  | Nutanix Community

Monitoring a cluster for memory and compute usage is an integral part of an administrator job to make sure the cluster is healthy and stable.

You could face a situation in which you just went through an ESXi upgrade and now noticing that CVM Memory is displayed as 100% in Prism UI and VMware Web Client. 

 

Is my CVM really consuming 100% memory and do I need to troubleshoot further regarding where the memory is getting utilised?

The following Knowledge-Base article will help you to understand the issue better thus helping you to isolate it to your environment.
