Hi,

I'm trying to figure out why my ES node is showing 0gb total memory, when the actual system is using more than that. How can I set the resources for my node to use more?

You might need to ask the author of the plugin about that.

If you want to check what is actually used take a look at the various `_cat` or `_node` APIs.
