Overview

When you adjust the thresholds for Memory Used for Hosts in Virtualization tabs in the Top 10 VMware Hosts, the thresholds don't stay set:

The bar on the right side is based on the Global Threshold values.

The Status icon on the left side is based on the overridden threshold values for Warning and Critical. The colors above don't match because the overridden thresholds are set to higher values for Warning and Critical.

Resolution

Adjusting general thresholds should fix the issue.

Wait until the thresholds cache expires, or open the page in a new session/incognito mode/different browser (or reset the IIS).
