Google Cloud Platform: how to monitor memory usage of VM instances

Question

I have recently performed a migration to Google Cloud Platform, and I really like it.

However, I can't find a way to monitor the memory usage of VM instances. As you can see in the attachment, the console provides utilization info about CPU, disk, and network, but not about memory.

Without knowing how much memory is being used, how is it possible to understand if there is a need for extra memory?

Answer 1

Memory utilization can be monitored through many different tools, such as Stackdriver.

Or you can install NetDatA: https://www.netdata.cloud/

Hope this helps!
