How to populate RAM field in Gb as existing one is showing value in Mb but lable as Gb.

Hi,

I am working on Helsinki version and discovered Windows and Unix devices. On server form RAM label is in Gb but value appears in Mb. Please help me how to convert Mb value into Gb value before populating the RAM field.

Regards,

Nick

Hi Nick,

A simple before update business rule on the table in question

Condition: <RAM field> <changes>

Script

current.<ram>=current.<ram>/1024;     //this will convert Mb to Gb

Have you checked the sensor for that probe?   Changes there may help insert the correct value.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for reply.

In Sensors, I have not found any relevant details but probe is showing below statement about memory capacity

module.capacity                 = parseFloat(Win32_PhysicalMemory.Capacity) / 1048576;

  total_memory += (parseFloat(Win32_PhysicalMemory.Capacity) / 1048576);

Do I need to make the changes here?I am working on production instance. Plz suggest.

Regards,

Nick

Ohhh... that is... actually a tough one.   Will the answer ALWAYS be in GB, or is there a unit against it?

1048576 = 1024 * 1024, giving an answer in MB, so I presume you simply need to change that to "1073741824".   However, I'd write it:

module.capacity                 = parseFloat(Win32_PhysicalMemory.Capacity) / (1024 * 1024 * 1024);

I've just checked that value on this machine (wbemtext.exe rocks!) and got a figure of: 2147483648 (presumably bytes)

• 2147483648 / 1024 = 2097152 KB
• 2097152 / 1024 = 2048 MB
• 2048MB / 1024 = 2 GB

So if you want the answer in GB, instead of "/ 1048576" (which is 1024 squared), you'll need "/1073741824" (1024 cubed, = GB) - give that a whirl, see what happens.
