Most stats (memory, disk, cpu, etc) are read from the OS /proc
or /sys filesystem (assuming Linux) and that data would need to be
generated per virtual environment.   If your memory data is
of the actual hardware, it seems the data is just passed through
and I would then expect that for all the /sys and /proc data you get.
