We have an error in one of our elastic-agent.

This returns the error below:

```auto
12:17:47.199
elastic_agent.filebeat
[elastic_agent.filebeat][error] elastic-agent-client got error: rpc error: code = ResourceExhausted desc = grpc: received message larger than max (4281155 vs. 4194304)
12:17:47.702
elastic_agent.filebeat
[elastic_agent.filebeat][error] elastic-agent-client got error: rpc error: code = ResourceExhausted desc = grpc: received message larger than max (4281155 vs. 4194304)

elastic_agent.filebeat
[elastic_agent.filebeat][error] elastic-agent-client got error: rpc error: code = ResourceExhausted desc = grpc: received message larger than max (4281155 vs. 4194304)

```

This elastic-agent is containerized and is the only one giving us this error (about twenty other agents work perfectly).

We did not find solutions in the documentation and on this forum.

We thank you in advance for the help you will be able to bring to our request.
