      What does your SAR report say?

      I re-imaged the linux machine now. I'll check but before I've even logged into it the Panel is saying that it's using 60% of the 512MB which is a bit much for just the base OS with nothing else running.

      I see the console reporting much higher than the OS is actually using. Check free -m to see the real usage. If the OS is using too much, that's an OS issue. But none of mine are using even 200MB.

      Yeah the panel usage is way off on mine. It says it's at 95% on windows now and it's only using 600MB-1GB of the 4GB. The CentOS is showing 60% but is actually using 369 MB out of the 490MB (so 121 free) which is a freshly re-imaged instance.

      You are misreading. That is only using 111MB. It is 379MB free. That's a very healthy system.

          You'll notice that 256MB on yours is just cache. That's anything, including file access. That number has no bearing on anything, it's just disk access optimization going on. If you accessed one 256MB file as a user it would create more cache than that from that one action that is not OS related. The -/+ line is the one that shows user/free in the way that admins mean it.

            Just realized that. It's be a while.. haha. Still the panels reporting should be fixed.

              Yes, the panel should show the 111MB number, which it does not, and that is very confusing. As a full time Linux admin I'm used to every tool for memory reporting being wrong (including top) so I take everything with a grain of salt.

                Seems like their reverse DNS isn't working out of the box.

                  Wow, my server are using resources even when there off!

                  Also, my second VM isn't running anything, and is showing 55% memory usage.

                    @Aaron-Studer did you read the thread above? It is not showing real memory usage, it is showing the same misinformation that all non-Linux admins see when they misread the output of free or top. It's just reporting incorrectly, nothing else. Your systems are not using that much.

                      It's not just the linux guest OS it's windows too. It must be pulling the info from the Linux cloud host OS

                        Doesn't seem like VMware stats to me, but I could be wrong.

                          VMware is not based on Linux. It is its own thing. Only Linux "host" OS is KVM. That's Digital Ocean and, AFAIK, no other major players.

                            Is it VMware? with the pricing I'd think not.

                              Yes. You can see VMware reported as the hardware if you look in dmidecode

                                And it is definitely not running a Xen kernel. Which proves nothing. But if it was running a Xen kernel, like it would on Rackspace or Amazon, it would prove the opposite. You don't run Xen without using a Xen kernel as that is a huge portion of the benefits of Xen.
