Hello,

I haven't looked at it for a bit, but the last time I tried to use 
sysutils/jail_exporter to get graphs for jail resource usage the graphs 
for Postgres jails were hilariously wrong, which I believe I tracked 
down to shared memory being counted more than once.

I gave up trying to figure out how to fix it and just lived with Grafana 
telling me a postgres jail on a 128gb jailhost used 900gb of memory.

But it sounds like the above might fix this?

Thanks!

Best regards,
