Converting value from process exporter to percent in grafana for better representation

[Pooja Chauhan]

Hi ,

I am using process-exporter to monitor processes in my linux machine. The output of process exporter gives me value of memory as below :

 namedprocess_namegroup_memory_bytes{groupname="********",memtype="resident"} 1.56147712e+08

namedprocess_namegroup_memory_bytes{groupname="***********",memtype="swapped"} 0

namedprocess_namegroup_memory_bytes{groupname="***********",memtype="virtual"} 1.24284928e+09

Can you pls suggest how to convert these resident and virtaul memory values to percenatege for better representaion in grafana panel.I have also enabled percent nob in 

Visualization tab as in the screen shot attached but that give weird value too.Need help.

The metrics you have shared above are actual memory usage in bytes. To calculate the percentage we need to the memory capacity of the server you are monitoring. There should be another metric giving that value.

Then you can calculate the percent usage by 100*  (memory_used_bytes/Total memory bytes).
