      Motivation
      The block cache consumes memory, so for clusters where it is enabled we need to watch available/headroom memory to catch memory pressure introduced by the cache and to inform the default sizing policy.

      Approach

      • For clusters reporting the block cache as enabled (via the enabled stat), build a Grafana panel showing available system memory over time.
      • Correlate with the block cache size/count stats already in the blockCache ServerStatus section.

      Definition of Done

      • A Grafana panel exists showing available memory on clusters with the block cache enabled.
      • The panel is scoped to enabled clusters and refreshes on the standard fleet cadence.

      Note: this is an observability/cloud-monitoring task and may need a cloud/observability owner; it is tracked here so the full production effort lives under one epic.
