Core health sensor Free virtual memory displays wrong value

Votes:

1

The free virtual memory channel claims that it has 134 million mega bytes of free memory. This is obviously wrong, as the virtual machine PRTG runs on only has 8 GB assigned to it. The physical memory sensors give correct values. It is just looks weird and it messes up the graph of the core health sensor. I then just removed it from graphs. Is there any known issue with this channel in the core health sensor?

Hi,

thank you for the KB-Post. We are not aware of any issues with this channel on the Core Health Sensors. Just to check, to which size is the virtual memory set then on the PRTG Host (in Windows)?
Can you share some screenshots, so that we can compare the Windows Setting and the results in PRTG?

Thank you!

We have the same wrong value since installing the server. In reality only 4 GB memory and virtual memory at 1GB system managed.

Hi Matthias, thanks for your question. If you're still having a problem here, it might be best for you to open a ticket with us via the Contact Support link in the PRTG web interface.

Many thanks!
