Memtierd Demo Dashboard
Dashboard used to showcase the effects of using Memtierd as a memory manager memory manager in your Kubernetes cluster.
## Memtierd Demo
Showcases how Memtierd can be used as a memory manager in Kubernetes to save memory by swapping out idle processes to swap.

This demo showcases how "high-prio" and "low-prio" workloads behave when they are managed by Memtierd. Low-prio workloads are swapped out more aggressively than high-prio workloads.

To replicate the demo you need more than just the dashboard. The required steps can be found [here](https://github.com/luukasmakila/cri-resource-manager/blob/memtier-nri/demo/memtierd/Replicating-the-demo.md).

## About the metrics

RAM Saved (G)
- Tells how much RAM is being saved by swapping out the idle workloads.

RAM Saved (%)
- Tells how big the total memory saved is in comparsin to the overall memory of the system.

Compressed (%)
- Tells how well the data is being compressed.

RAM vs Swap
- Tells how the memory is being distributed between RAM and Swap.

Page faults
- Tells how many new page faults happen in between the requests from Grafana. This is a way to express the possible performance hit workloads experience if being tracked by Memtierd.
