We've deployed the 8.11.0 elastic agents to windows and use both the system and windows integration to consume windows logs and host metrics. Since installing the agent, we've been having intermittent connectivity issues with our hosts in which services would no longer load (for example having 500 errors in web services), SQL database killing instances, and throughout the hosts many were complaining of high memory usage around these events.
As a test, we had Lansweeper not loading pages, giving us 500 errors. We disabled the Elastic Agent on the Lansweeper host, it did not help the issue. The database for Lansweeper is housed on a separate SQL server that was having an issue (unable to RDP, protocol errors). I was refreshing Lansweeper web, and upon killing the agent on the SQL server, things immediately started working.
We never had issues with WinLogBeat, and wanted to move to the Elastic Agent for it's simplified management and deployment of integrations, but can't now due to agents reaping havoc in the environment.
Has anyone else had similar experiences?
