Hi Pankaj, sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Disk and Memory metrics getting formatted as KB instead of GB.

Where exactly are you seeing the numbers in KB? Are the numbers high enough to be above 1MB or 1GB?

The intent in the formatting is that the Bytes unit should scale to what it needs to be, so if the number isn't \>= 1MB, it will show KB.

Let me know if that is not the case from what you are seeing.
