Backround:
Hey all. I've introduced prometheus grafana and cadvisor to my setup
and it was great so far. This allowed me to spot two services that
were going nuts on memory usage and I was able to address that in
result freeing 7gb of ram.

Question:
I'm looking at monitoring other parameters and found out
"container_memory_failures_total". Thing is some containers get insane
numbers like 60000000. My question is - is this something I should
investigate or is this something somewhat normal? How would you tackle
that? The biggest offender is Authentik if that matters but I'm not so
sure as it's also it's postgres db and next is pihole.
