Question
do-agent eats ram
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

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.
