Found what was the issue. Raised the log level with specifying -e GF\_LOG\_LEVEL=debug for the container. The log was showing: msg=“Start walking disk” messages. Apparently, by default the provisioned dashboards are checked quite often for changes. I added “updateIntervalSeconds: 600” to the dashboard yaml files and now the load is very nicely below one. I could even raise this number much higher as when I change the yaml files, I can notify Grafana about the change. Thanks for you all guys!
