Hello @bluepuma77 and welcome into our community, This ([cgroup\_ram\_in\_use](https://community.netdata.cloud/t/cgroup-ram-in-use/1967)) topic may give you some insights about this alert.

TTBOMK you have two options:

1. You either relax the threshold (by [editing their configuration](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/monitor/configure-alarms#edit-health-configuration-files), conf-file: health.d/cgroups.conf) of the “warn” state for this alert. This will just hide the “issue”, so I don’t advise you to stick with this action.
2. Set greater limits for the containers in question. Netdata informs you that these containers are running near the edge of their limits. Note here: If none limit is set; defaults apply by Docker but this shouldn’t be a case for all of your containers/workloads. Different containers, different demands.

I would suggest you to visit also the following topic:

> **[Runtime options with Memory, CPUs, and GPUs](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/#understand-the-risks-of-running-out-of-memory)**
>
> Specify the runtime options for a container

Think about it and let us know about your situation

> We are running prometheus/grafana but we can’t see RAM issues there.

Not so sure that they have predefined alerts for this resource.
