Hi, I was using elasticsearch with APM and all worked fine. Now I've introduced filebeat and data nodes consume around 1~0,6 cpu all time.

I have elasticsearch deployed inside kubernetes. I have 2 ingest nodes with 3G heap size. Also I have 3 data nodes with 4G heap size.

I have configured filebeat with 3 shards. I suppose that elastic distribute one shard per node.

Can I increase cpu performance ?  
Is this CPU usage usual?

Thanks a lot!
