Hi All,

Thanks for reviving the discussion, Matthias!

This would mean that we could adapt the current proposal to replace the

I do not know the value of having the Nonheap usage in metrics. I can see
that the metaspace metric can be interesting for the users to debug OOMs.
We had the Nonheap usage before, so as discussed, I would be a bit careful
removing. I believe it deserves a separate poll in user ML
whether the Nonheap usage is useless or not.
As a current solution, we could keep both or merge them into one box with a
slash, like Metaspace/Nonheap -> 5Mb/10Mb, if the majority agrees that this
is not confusing and clear that the metaspace is a part of Nonheap.

Btw, the "Nonheap" in the configuration box of the current FLIP-102 is
probably incorrect or confusing as it does not one-to-one correspond to the
Nonheap JVM metric.

The only issue I see is that JVM Overhead would still not be represented in

My understanding is that we do not need a usage metric for JVM Overhead as
it is a virtual unmanaged component which is more about configuring the max
total process memory.

Is there a reason for us to introduce a nested structure

I would suggest introducing a separate REST call for
TaskManagerResourceInfo.
Semantically, TaskManagerResourceInfo is more about the TM configuration
and it is not directly related to the usage metrics.
In future, I would avoid having calls with many responsibilities and maybe
consider splitting the 'TM details' call into metrics etc unless there is a
concern for having to do more calls instead of one from UI.

Alternatively, one could think of grouping the metrics collecting the

I would personally prefer this for metrics but I am not pushing for this.

metrics.resource.managedMemory and metrics.resource.networkMemory have

As I understand, they have different semantics. The later is about
configuration, the former is about current usage metrics.

Is metrics.resource.totalProcessMemory a basic sum over all provided

this is again about configuration, I do not think it makes sense to come up
with a usage metric for the totalProcessMemory component.

Best,
