Is there any ways to limit the memory used by elastic-agent. Elastic Agent and Endpoint are consuming around 2GB memory. This is too high for a tool like elastic agent. Any help/tips for reducing memory usage is highly appreciated!

You can try a

`PS C:\Program Files\Elastic\Endpoint> .\elastic-endpoint.exe top`

and see what consumes resources.

You can try to tune the policy and collect less data.

What version of Agent is this? Is there any other security softwxare running on this system?
