System Diagnostics reported memory as used-percent plus used/total GB. Neither distinguishes a healthy board from one about to fail, because page cache counts as used and is reclaimable on demand -- a Pi can read 70% used and be fine, or read the same and be minutes from trouble. MemAvailable is the kernel's own estimate of what a new allocation can actually obtain, and it is the number that tracked the failure on a 1GB Pi 3B+: healthy running sat above 500MB, and the crash came at 73MB. By that point fork() was failing, so sshd could not spawn a session and systemd could not respawn the display, while the kernel carried on answering pings at 0% loss. Used-percent gave no warning at any point on the way there; available memory fell steadily for hours. /api/v3/system/status now returns memory_available_mb from psutil.virtual_memory().available, and Tools renders it as its own tile, coloured against the thresholds that failure implies: red under 150MB, amber under 300MB, green above. The existing memory tile is left alone -- used/total is still what you want when sizing a workload; this answers the different question of how much room is left right now.

"""/api/v3/system/status must report MemAvailable, not just used/total.

"Memory used %" cannot tell a healthy board from one about to fail. Page cache
|
|
counts as used and is reclaimable on demand, so a Pi can read 70% used and be
|
|
perfectly fine, or read the same and be minutes from trouble. MemAvailable is
|
|
the kernel's own estimate of what a new allocation can actually obtain, and it
|
|
is the number that tracked the failure on a 1GB Pi 3B+: healthy running sat at
|
|
500MB+, the crash happened at 73MB, and by then fork() was failing -- sshd
|
|
could not spawn a session and systemd could not respawn the display, while the
|
|
kernel carried on answering pings.
|
|
|
|
psutil.virtual_memory().available is MemAvailable on Linux. total - used is not
|
|
a substitute: they diverge exactly when unreclaimable memory (shmem, tmpfs) is
|
|
in play, which is when the distinction matters.
