Another agent memory issue

Help

I’m running a netdata agent as up to date as I can get it on debian 11: v1.46.3
on a server that is almost entirely idle 99% of the time I noticed it’s swaps a lot and it’s netdata that was swapping.
I gave the LXC 512MB of memory, and upgraded it to 2GB of memory.

Currerntly netdata is using between 450MB and 500MB of memory with basically all features turned off excluding streaming data to the parent netdata instance:
How this instance is still using 400+MB of memory is beyond me.

I have repeatedly gone and looked at related threads in this forum and the optimization knowledgebase article on the documentation page without luck

I left systemd unit plugin on to show this but otherwise this could be off as well

here is my netdata.conf:

[global]
    run as user = netdata

[plugins]
    tc = no
    cgroup-network = no
    diskspace = no
    fping = no

    slabinfo = no
    proc = no

    node.d = no

    go.d = no
    apps = no

I resolved my issue by changing to a nixos VM but I still want to investigate this as I have other LXCs that have the same problem. All of them use way too much memory. each one about 450 - 500mb 3 of them is about 1.3GB.
