The metric name previously appeared inconsistently as "commit charge" in some places and "virtual memory" in others, causing confusion among users.

To address this, we now use the term "virtual memory" consistently across the man page, graphs, and services. Users will see this unified terminology in all relevant locations, which helps reduce confusion when interpreting memory metrics. No action is required from users to adapt to this change.
