Facetious but half serious reaction: surely grafana usage nullifies any possible benefit from the monitoring? If there is one piece of software regularly using way more resources than seem reasonable it's that one.

You can always export into Splunk or Datadog and burn way more dollars than seems reasonable.

Simple fix is to run an extension cord from the neighbors house and use that to host your monitoring equipment.
