Need a more comprehensive max_mem calculation about elasticsearch HOT 1 CLOSED

Upon closer inspection of elasticsearch.init.erb, I realized that Memory Total is the machine's total memory and not the total memory being consumed by ES. But the top command really does show 92.6% consumption ... and the following heap_max_in_bytes + non_heap_max_in_bytes ... doesn't add up to more than 80% of the available memory.

$ curl 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/nodes/elasticsearch-test-1?os&jvm&pretty'
  "jvm" : {
    ...
    "mem" : {
      "heap_init" : "128mb",
      "heap_init_in_bytes" : 134217728,
      "heap_max" : "1gb",
      "heap_max_in_bytes" : 1157562368,
      "non_heap_init" : "23.1mb",
      "non_heap_init_in_bytes" : 24313856,
      "non_heap_max" : "214mb",
      "non_heap_max_in_bytes" : 224395264
    }
  }

Sigh ... sorry for bugging you, I'm closing this until I have a proper suggestion/analysis to present. Too bad that I couldn't get JConsole running on the AWS instance yet.
