Tuning a collector to work on a t2.micro EC2 instance? | Archive

I know that it is not exactly recommended/reliable to use a 1GB/1CPU Core machine to monitor...but it seems that installing a "nano" sized collector on a t2.micro AWS instance and having it just monitor itself brings the AWS instance to a screeching halt. I am seeing that when the collector is running, top shows that CPU pegs to 100% almost nonstop. Memory is not hit quite as bad..but it does get up there to use 500mb+ But the CPU load average is 5+ cores and it makes the system unusable. Sometimes this causes the instance to throw status alerts & even crash. Question: Has anybody been able to tweak the wrapper.conf etc files to make the collector CPU load less demanding?
