Why this falcon-sensors memory/cpu request/limit ?

[mdecalf]

Hello,

We have falcon-sensors deployed (as daemonset).

We observe a used in terms of memory around 100Mi with a maximum of 150Mi

What is the purpose of this validation?

    "memory": {
        "oneOf": [
            {
                "type": "string",
                "default": "500Mi",
                "pattern": "^([5-9][0-9]{2}[Mi]+)|([0-9.]+[iEGTP]+)$"
            },
            {
                "type": "integer",
                "default": "524288000",
                "pattern": "^([5-9][0-9]{8})|([0-9]{10,})$",
                "minimum": 524288000
            }
        ]
    }

We are working on optimising our system pods to better match our application workload.

Considering we have 2000 nodes, we lost around 800GB of RAM.

Thanks for your insights!
