We have a few db nodes which were cutting it close before pmm2. Now that we added pmm2 it seems node_exporter really takes up a lot of memory. Too much to be sustainable. Is there a way via pmm to limit how impactful node_exporter is?

disable node_exporter or limit memory used by it?

Currently, there is no way. However, we don’t expect node_exporter to consume a lot of memory. May you provide more details?
