DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

In the processes probe, when viewing the list of running processes for a Linux machine, the "VM Size" column in Admin Console displays a value of 0 for every process.

In the Infrastructure Manager GUI, the "VM Size" column is blank.

How can we view the Virtual Memory usage for Linux processes?

Environment

DX UIM - any version
processes probe - any version

Cause

working as designed. 

Resolution

 "VM Size" is only relevant for Windows machines and this is intentionally not displayed in the GUI when viewing Linux server processes.

The virtual memory usage for Linux is represented by the "Size" column.

Windows:
Virtual Memory = VM Size (KB)
Real Memory = WorkingSet (KB)

Linux:
Virtual Memory = Size (KB)
Real Memory = Resident Size(KB)
