Issue/Introduction

The memory usage collected by the CDM probe that is installed on Non-Global Solaris zones appear collect values from Global zone and need confirmation on how the memory usage is being calculated within Non-Global Solaris zones. 

See example below:

Global Zone total memory used is approx 92%+

Non-Global zones:

Global zone memstats output 

All Non-Global zones Solaris instances generate CDM Memory Usage alarms for 95% threshold violation when their percent usage should be cummulative values that should equal the Global zone value.

Here are the alarm details for two (other two also report 95%) of the Non-Global zones:

Environment

Release : 20.1

Component : UIM - CDM WITH IOSTAT
