Used memory(jvm.memory.used): It is the current amount of memory in use.
Unit: Bytes
Committed memory(jvm.memory.committed): It is the amount of memory that is guaranteed to be available for use by the Java virtual machine. The amount of committed memory can easily change over time. The Java virtual machine may release memory to the system and committed memory could be less than initial memory. Committed memory will always be greater than or equal to the used memory.
Unit: Bytes
Max memory(jvm.memory.max): It is stated as the maximum amount of memory that can be used for memory management. You may observe that many a times its value is undefined. The maximum amount of memory may change over time if defined. In every case where max memory is defined, the amount of used and committed memory will always be less than or equal to max.
Unit: Bytes
