Hello I am new to elastic stack and need some help. I use the elastic cloud for the Siem functionality and the endpoint defend. Everything is good but I get very high cpu utilization that makes it difficult for me to use the Siem. My node has 8gb of ram and I use frozen tier to move data. I have some prebuilt ml jobs running and I use elastic defend , network package capture and Alienvault OTX on every endpoint. I support 55 endpoints and my cpu usage is always at 100% except some days that half the endpoints are turned off. Is it normal? Is the number of endpoints too much for my cloud deployment? Also I would like to ask if the network packet capture is the problem here. Maybe installing it to every machine is not the optimal way to do it? Any suggestions ? Thank you. ---

Hi @LaserBits, I'm sorry that you're having issues with your Elastic Cloud environment. I think the best way to resolve it would be via opening a support case at [Elastic Support Hub](https://support.elastic.co/home). Our support engineers will help you troubleshoot the issue and scale the deployment appropriately. ---

Well I did but the support said they can not offer consulting about the configuration, they help only on deployment issues. I really would like to hear if someone had a problem like that. As I am new to elastic I need to know if the problem is the number of endpoints or something I should do in my setup. Thanks. ---
