Memory unit and monitor on system level

[iwangtoknow]

Hi there,

I have a question and a suggestion.

Question: how can I change the memory unit shown in the status bar? Now I have 1028096.00 MB I would like to see it in GB.

Suggestion: I am working on a node shared by multiple users. I would like to have the monitor also on the system instead of just my usage. Like the status shown in htop.

Cheers

@perllaghu Hi, great you see it. Do you have any updates?

@iwangtoknow The format is automatically chosen based on memory usage.

@mahendrapaipuri Thanks for the clarification. It was in MB for a few days, afterwards, it was changed to GB. Do you have any comments/solutions on the system-level resource monitor?

Cheers

@mahendrapaipuri the function of unit auto-selection is not stable, today it jumps back to MB.
