hi,  
I setup a filebeat on window server 2012 R2 to collect some log files ( not too much files \<10, file size for each one is less than 100M).  
The system is as follows.

I noticed that it consumes almost 20% CPU and 1.3G memory.  
I am wondering if it is the same issue as [Filebeat 6.3.0 is taking too much of memory on windows 2008R2](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-6-3-0-is-taking-too-much-of-memory-on-windows-2008r2/141715).

So I run the ./filebeat -httpprof localhost:6060 command and upload heap data to [https://pan.baidu.com/s/15P\_FXduMs1YZktcXgB\_4hg](https://pan.baidu.com/s/15P_FXduMs1YZktcXgB_4hg)

Could someone here help to analyse it and give me some advice or work arounds for this issue?

Thanks.

Hmmm, that issue was (supposedly) fixed in 6.4.0. I see you're running a later version.

Can you open a new issue at [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues) ? It may be different.
