title: Memory metrics missing from Azure dashboard
body: <p>We've recently started using Azure to host some virtual machines, but I've got problems getting the grips on the available resource monitoring metrics.</p>
  
  <p>When I go to the dashboard for the virtual machine, I have the option to add metrics for several things, but <em>Memory Available is missing</em>:</p>

  <p>When reading about <a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-how-to-monitor/" rel="noreferrer">how to monitor cloud services</a>, it seems clear that you should have the option to add a metrics for <em>Memory Available</em>. Reading <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16233975/azure-endpoint-monitoring-memory-usage">other posts here on Stack Overflow</a>, I see other tools such as MetricsHub mentioned - but I don't think this is what we want, as we don't need any monitoring endpoint, we only want to see memory usage in the Azure dashboard (and apps from the Azure store isn't available to us, since we're on an Enterprise Agreement).</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing something obvious here? What must be done to add memory monitoring to the dashboard?</p>
