Hello,

Is it normal that Elastic Agent utilizes around 500MB of ram on Windows 10 Endpoint  
Version 7.16.3

I have disabled for test Detection/Protection in the Policy.  
I have disabled all events collection DNS, Network etc...

Between the elastic-agent and the sub services utilization is around 500MB

While I enjoy the Fleet... I'm thinking about rolling out Winlogbeat with Sysmon to improve performance. ( I'm guessing that all the rules in Elastic Security should work with Winlogbeats ? )

Thank's
