What does memory used % represents in the Appian cloud support site? We have 3 servers in prod and one of them is having around 68% memory used. But in Appian health check report, its showing as 1500MB which we are assuming its pointing to RAM. If only roughly 2gb is occupied by instances, what does the remaining memory is taken up by? We have 75 gb ROM memory for each server and 32gb memory for RAM. Any insights will be helpful

Go to metrics inside Health--> Cloud Resources--> , and if you click on "Show metric info" , you will information about each one of the parameters
David Jimenez Calleja , can you please let me know what is meant by swap used? And does cached used means it will refer to the memory used by record types?? Will having so many entries for a record take up so much memory?
This is the numbers on the OS level and has almost nothing to do with your records.
SWAP is disk space used as RAM.
CACHED is the memory used by the OS to cache files and other stuff.
No, cache is not the memory used by your records (if you are using synced records, that information is stored in a kbd file, that consumes resources, but it's not a direct relation)...... swap is the disk used as RAM by Appian when RAM is full.
Are you storing the application documents in Appian? Could you check you Kc's size?
We are worried about RAM usage. Documents will be stored in ROM. And yes, we are using synced records. Also can you let me about this KDB file

Kbd are internal objects used by Appian .... you don't have access to them
Memory usage includes system processes and caching—your setup looks solid!
