Description
Expected behavior
If you use the external monitor API, all values should be returned in bytes.
Current behavior
If you use the external monitor API, all memory related values are returned in kilo-bytes instead
of bytes, because the output of /proc/meminfo is used to get the information, which is by default
returning values in kB. Compared to the freespace information this inconsistent.
# cat /proc/meminfo | grep "^Mem"
MemTotal: 8183664 kB
MemFree: 339332 kB
MemAvailable: 5807060 kB
XML output:

Research direction
Start at the external monitor API entry point that reads /proc/meminfo and produces the XML output. Compare its memory-related values with the free-space values and verify that the completed output reports memory in bytes rather than the kB units shown by /proc/meminfo.
