Memory usage increased from 70% to 79.95% after installing node_exporter on AIX 7.1 (PowerPC POWER9)

[pbj9947]

Hello,

I installed node_exporter (version v1.11.0, architecture aix-ppc64) on an AIX 7.1 system running on PowerPC POWER9 hardware.

After running node_exporter, I noticed that the overall system memory usage increased significantly from 70% to 79.95%.

Could you please let me know if this is a known issue, or if there are any specific configurations recommended to optimize memory consumption on AIX?

Thank you!
