I upgraded to 1.44 and I’m getting a lot of errors that say 'maximum number of cgroups reached (1000). Is there a way to raise the limit?

I found it

```auto
[plugin:cgroups]
    # netdata server resources = yes
    # check for new plugin every = 10
    # enable cpuacct stat = on demand
    # enable cpuacct usage = on demand
    # enable memory = on demand
    # enable blkio = on demand
    # path to /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct = /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct
    # path to /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio = /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio
    # path to /sys/fs/cgroup/memory = /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
    # max cgroups to allow = 50

```

Hi, @data-smith. Fixed in latest [netdata/pull/16730](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/pull/16730)

For the stable version: change the logs severity level to “warning” (it will remove all info lines including that one).

In `netdata.conf`

```auto
[logs]
  level = warning

```
