Hi,
Section “My interactive sessions” reports nodes and cores for each of the running jobs but not memory. e.g. see where is says `1 node 5 cores` and `1 node 16 cores` in this screenshot: [Interactive Sessions - BIH HPC Docs](https://bihealth.github.io/bih-cluster/ondemand/interactive/)
For many workflows the reserved memory is even more important than the reserved cores, specially in bioinformatics. It would be a nice addition if the session card for the active sessions also reports the memory. e.g. ` nodes | cores | memory`
This is not something critical for us but I am creating a feature request in case you find it interesting for future releases.
regards.

Hi Pablo.
Thanks for the feature request. I will add it to our “to be reviewed” queue.
Thanks,

Is this something you specify via the form? Why not simply add that to the view.html.erb?

Ideally it’s that simple, but in this case many pieces go into displaying that `session` panel. Specifically, the `nodes` and `cores` are actually calculated in a helper from the controller for the `BatchConnect::Sessions` which you can see here:

This helper is later called from the partial `_panel.html.erb` but that helper is really where all the heavy lifting is done to generate those session cards, so it requires a bit of thought to implement is all, but could be done.

Cool. Then do it if you want to.
Thanks,
