Hey @Tek_Chand,

Does this topic follow with [Filebeat not sending logs in real time](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-not-sending-logs-in-real-time/260305)? I don't think that enabling security should affect performance to this point.

How is your architecture here? Are you sending to Elasticsearch directly? How is your Elasticsearch cluster?

Do you see any error in filebeat logs?
