[~haosdent@gmail.com] Ah ok, if `Idle` means the same as `resources that could be offered`, that's what I was looking for. I ran into a situation recently where `Idle` showed I had hundreds of CPUs and thousands of GB's of memory, but when I tried to start 100 tasks that each needed 1 cpu and 8gb of memory, Marathon was stuck `waiting` as it wasn't getting resources offers it could use.

I shutdown other tasks to free up more cpu/memory and then was able to start the 100 tasks I mentioned. This is what led me to believe the `Idle` values weren't the actual "free" (as in able to be offered) resources.

>            Reporter: Craig W
>
> On the Mesos UI under the "resources" section when it lists CPUs and Mem, 
> it seems to be calculated by sum up every executor cpu and memory statistics, which would be less than <= "allocated" resources.
> On the page that displays information for a slave it shows the CPUs and Mem show used and allocated.
> When I look at the Mesos UI front page, I was looking at "Idle" resources as the amount of resources I have available for offers. However, that's not the case. It would be nice to have it show the amount of "free" or "available" resources as well as "idle", so I can better determine how many resources I actually have available for scheduling additional tasks.
