Ran several memory intensive workloads and metric value remained at '0'

What did you expect to happen?

expected the metric reading to increase/track system memory usage

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

Download & install rpm start service root# systemctl start container-kepler --now root# curl localhost:8888/metrics | grep

Current Ampere xgene hwmon only reports the CPU and I/O power (per doc here). We cannot get DRAM power. So to align with the RAPL reporting, kepler only reports kepler_node_core_total (per code here)
