Hi @Chaitanya_krishna_ch , can you elaborate a bit please ?

  1. what and how do you measure memory usage here ?
  2. what are the two (or more) configurations that you compare, what is the baseline configuration ?
  3. what is the difference between the two cases ?

It is expected that running the agent requires some extra resources, but it should be rather minimal on most applications.
