Hey, i hope you guys help me out with this issue.
Currently i have a 1gb ram droplet with ubuntu 16.04.2 os.
On my droplet dashboard, the memory graphs says that im using about 71.8% of my ram. See: Dashboard graphs image
But inside my droplet, i run a command to display the current memory usage (%) and the result is this: Inside droplet
As you guys can see, mysql are using 26.6% of my ram, and my java webservice is using 32.2, and some other process that dont mean almost nothing to the vm. At the memory graphs, it stills going up and up, but at my droplet, it still the same. Java at 32.2% and mysql at 26.6%
Maybe im looking at the graphs wrong? Or its really a bug in the dashboard?
Thanks.

I cannot answer your question about the dashboards but to get the real memory usage from the command line you can use this command free -h it will give you your total RAM, currently used, free, shared buffered and cached, this is the output from one of my servers
root@backup01:~# free -h
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7.7G 7.0G 683M 89M 4.1G 891M
-/+ buffers/cache: 2.0G 5.7G
Swap: 7.9G 406M 7.5G
The values in the first line could be misleading look at the second one it says 2.0G of my 7.7G are used which means memory usage is 25% what are your values?
Also note that these values differ from time to time so check the last value in your dashboard with the value you got in your terminal.
Hope this helps.
Do yourself a favor, as me, migrate everything to VULTR. Too much better than digital ocean!
Thank me later :)
Where is the status of the bug? We need this resolving as we are getting mem alerts, and have to log in to console each time to run Free -h
Can we get a timescale please?
