Morpheus memory usage alerts

logged in to my newly deployed VME 8.0.13 setup with VME on medium size and 3 hosts with plenty of memory.
all well, but VME manager shows a memory alert/warning (yellow) on the dashboard -> system status. 

So i go look for what it would be about. So i check administration -> health -> health status. Same yellow memory state but no guidance whatsoever on what actually is on waraning state or which threshold is exceeded. Am i looking at the wrong place? 
Also, why would i have a warning? it's doing nothing. 

any insights in what, why and next step?

Re: Morpheus memory usage alerts

I have a very similar looking memory map with a (4) node cluster and only (3) running VM's. It's even using swap:

          total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 15Gi 11Gi 220Mi 7.8Mi 4.2Gi 4.1Gi
Swap: 4.0Gi 2.7Gi 1.3Gi


Is this the normal usage? The environment is running 8.0.13 with uptimes of about 25 days.  Thanks.

updated to version 8.1 and this cleared the alarms. Not sure if it was a fix or just a reboot/restart of all the things, but hey... green is green.

Good to know.  8.1.0 is on my todo list for this week too.  Fingers crossed.

Even everything is showing as Green in 8.1.0 the System Memory widget is still showing 98% used while doing nothing. Not sure if this is ok...
