For fetching memory metrics of a VM, I used to rely on %memory utilization provided by Azure Datatables (WAD). Now that Azure-Monitor provides Memory Available Bytes as a metric (feature in Preview), how to get Total/Maximum memory of a VM so that I can calculate memory-utilzation myself without need of Datatables (WAD).
Thanks in advance.

    @Badrinath V You should be able to get the vmSize by calling the Virtual Machines - Get REST API and then get the memoryInMB value for that size from the Virtual Machine Sizes - List REST API.

    Depending on the language you are using for your code, you could use the respective Azure SDKs as well.
