The high CPU usage of this process has been an ongoing issue. Recently I created a portal host for remote workers. Just supposed to be a gateway to move to other machines. 2 CPUs, 4Gb RAM, etc.

Started getting reports of performance problems so I hopped on to look. First thing I notice is that a supposedly 'empty' host was at a load of 2.5. Looking at 'top' I see auditbeat at 120% CPU and holding steady there. After killing this process the load goes back to 0.15 (where I would expect it).

Here's my auditbeat.yml - what am I doing wrong?

```auto
auditbeat.modules:
- module: auditd
  audit_rule_files: ['${path.config}/audit.rules.d/*.conf']
  audit_rules: |

- module: file_integrity

```

Might have figured it out.

Removed this section:

```auto
processors:
  - add_host_metadata: ~

```

Now the process sits quietly and takes up v little space.

Hi ethrbunny,

Does this solved your problem or does it came back by now? I rolled out an deployment of auditbeat in our infrastructure and after some time I had also issues with high CPU usage.

Would be great if you could give me a little follow-up on this. 🙂

Thank you!

</div>

Also curious about this as I am noticing significant CPU usage on most machines running auditbeat. Whats weird is that if I restart auditbeat, it will stay low CPU usage for a while, they go right back to use 100%-150% CPU.

Hi Ben,

I tried to fix it already also by adjusting the processor section in my config. This doesn't solved the problem for me. Also an adjustment of "stare.period" for the different datasets was promising but not very effective. 62 hourse TIME+ in top and reached again 95% and up.

I really don't know what to try else. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Are you running 7.7.0? when I was running 7.6.x, I didn't have this issue, and I'm wondering if they upgraded version is the cause of the issue.

</div>

Yes I am running 7.7.0 - but for now I've modified my configuration and disabled the 'socket dataset' from the system module. Now it's running stable with low CPU footprint. I planned to use packetbeat in the near future so this is not a loss for me. Hopefully packetbeat runs smoother than that. 😅

Are you using [anything from] the [System module](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/auditbeat/current/auditbeat-module-system.html)? Those are still in Beta. Maybe this can cause issues in some environments. (Hardware/Network-Infrastructure/Storage etc.)

</div>

Yeah, I'm running the full system module currently. Did you run any of the 6.7.x versions? I think there may be an issue with 7.7.0 that is causing the high CPU as I didn't see it all in 6.7.x. I'm planning on upgrading to 7.7.1 to see if that fixes it, but if not, I may open a git ticket, as this appears to be a performance bug.

</div>

An upgrade to 7.7.1 is something that I envision too. File an issue in git is a good idea since this module is in Beta and not supported by my Gold subscription as stated in documentation. I would say that we've keep in touch on this. 💪🏻

I am experiencing the same issue with Auditbeat 7.7.1 with the System module. When I disable the Socket portion of the module it works fine otherwise the system's CPU will eventually spike up to 100%+.

This is a shame as this also was not an issue in 7.6.2.

</div>

I've also just confirmed this as well, as I was able to upgrade to 7.7.1 and am still experiencing the issue. I'll see about opening a ticket on their github. For reference, would you be able to provide the OS and way you installed? I'm seeing the issue on both OpenSUSE 15.x and CentOS 7-8 with the rpm install of auditbeat.

There's an issue with 7.7.0 and 7.7.1 that causes the system/socket dataset to get stuck and use 100% CPU.

It'll be fixed in 7.8.0. For now, disabling the socket dataset fixes the problem.

~~Here's a patched version of 7.7.0 incorporating the fix for testing purposes:~~

Can some of you please test it and post your results here?

**Edit:**  **7.8.0 has been released, which includes the fix.**

Hello,

I'm on 7.8.0 but I'm still seeing 100% usage within 5 mins of starting auditbeat. Disabling the sockets dataset makes it behave itself. Currently running Debian 9 - fully updated. Any ideas on how we could solve this? Sockets data is rather important for me.

Thank you

I swear I also saw this initially reoccur, but I since commented out the sockets, restarted auditbeat, then uncommented out sockets, restarted auditbeat and now my cpu is perfectly low.

@mgotechlock is it possible that the 7.7.1 service was still running after updating to 7.8.0 and just needed a restart.

@hazardousmonk I tried to reproduce with Debian 9, unsuccessfully. Can you share the logs running with `-d socket` ? (or `logging.selectors: [socket]` in _auditbeat.yml_). Try to have it run at least a couple of minutes after CPU goes 100%.

Also it'll be good to have a cpu profile, running auditbeat with the `-httpprof :8888` command-line option and then once it's using 100% CPU, fetch a profile with

> wget '[http://localhost:8888/debug/pprof/profile?seconds=30](http://localhost:8888/debug/pprof/profile?seconds=30)'

Here's the output of the logs - I uncommented the socket logging selector from the auditbeat.ytml file and kept the CPU cooking at 100% for over 10 min. I cannot post the entire log in this message due to the 13k character limit so I will be breaking this post down into two posts.
