Hi, I've been trying out packetbeat as a potential new relic replacement but I'm a bit afraid that CPU usage is a bit too high to use this in production. I've installed this on one of my webservers and it's the highest consuming process on there: [![](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/mm3qkecb9nvhn9b/Screenshot%202016-02-05%2022.11.24.png?dl=0) ](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/mm3qkecb9nvhn9b/Screenshot%202016-02-05%2022.11.24.png?dl=0) It's also spawning panic errors like hell in /var/log/messages Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/protos/memcache/plugin\_tcp.go:335 (0x4de83d) Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/protos/tcp/tcp.go:112 (0x51172d) Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/protos/tcp/tcp.go:148 (0x511f3c) Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/decoder/decoder.go:183 (0x6f8047) Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/decoder/decoder.go:101 (0x6f7581) Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/sniffer/sniffer.go:356 (0x526299) Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/beat/packetbeat.go:232 (0x4676fb) Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /usr/local/go/src/runtime/asm\_amd64.s:1721 (0x464561) Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /usr/local/go/src/runtime/asm\_amd64.s:437 (0x4621ee) Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /usr/local/go/src/runtime/panic.go:423 (0x4307c9) Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /usr/local/go/src/runtime/panic.go:42 (0x42ee89) Feb 5 21:15:46 web745 /usr/local/go/src/runtime/sigpanic\_unix.go:24 (0x44589a) [![](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/nyrf3neh3td6wy2/Screenshot%202016-02-05%2022.15.15.png?dl=0) ](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/nyrf3neh3td6wy2/Screenshot%202016-02-05%2022.15.15.png?dl=0) Any things that I can change to lower cpu usage.. the other issue is probably something that needs to be fixed upstream Thx Jayme ---
