do-agent eats ram

Monitoring

I upgraded my old droplet with the new monitoring and the do-agent eats over 40% of the available RAM and spawns a lot of mysqld processes

$ top -b -H -n1 | grep do-agent

I tried to uninstall monitoring by purging the do-agent : sudo apt-get purge do-agent and restarting the droplet, but this didn’t help. Is this expected behaviour? This is on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS with the smallest droplet.

    I’m also seeing one MySQL process run by the do-agent user that’s taking up kind of a lot of memory. It looks like do-agent uses a MySQL instance for itself.

      PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND

do-agent doesn’t spin up MySQL or MySQL services. Did you by chance install MySQL under the do-agent user?

I also seeing something like this in my droplet. I instaled Caprover directly from the marketplace and haven’t done any customization.

I’m seeing MySQL and MongoDB instances run by the do-agent user.
