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. ---
