Is this still accurate? Consumed memory is really the only vaguely accurate metric that compares to the in-guest memory value for physical memory.
Also, the memory counter documentation mentions that Consumed memory is "Granted Memory - Shared Memory", which doesn't exactly match up with the values that are reported through the Performance section for the VM through the VI client.
I wish there was a way to get the exact value that the guest OS reports other than logging into the server or querying it from outside of the built-in reports.
