Hi Team,

We have four nodes in EKS cluster, We are running filebeat (Version: 8.12.1) as deamonset. So currently we are running four filebeat pods.

Out of four, only one filebeat memory usage is increasing rapidly. For the remaining it is constant.

For all filebeat pods we are observing constant CPU utilization.

Could you please let us know, how to check the reason for the filebeat pod , that having high memory usage.

Please suggest debug methods also.

Regards,  
Naveen
