Proxmox VE Memory Usage CRIT but Memory OK

It’s related as it is another memory check, but from inside the VM.

What you see is a high amount of committed memory. This is memory that is allocated by processes but not used yet, i.e. not written to. Some applications just malloc() large amounts of memory without using it. But if they would write to it, RAM and swap could be overused.

You can set thresholds for committed memory in this service check or even just ignore it if your application runs fine.
