Hi  
I've set up a filebeat service (Two 6.2.1 & One 5.5.1) running on ubuntu.  
Memory is used always near 100%.  
The memory not released all the time.  
It seems like memory leaks.

# filebeat.yml - 6.2.1

filebeat.prospectors  
- input\_type: log  
paths: ~  
document\_type: ~  
scan\_frequency: 30s  
close\_eof: true  
close\_removed: true

output.logstash:  
hosts: ~  
loadbalance: true  
worker: 2  
timeout: 60  
pipeling: 0  
max\_retries: -1

# filebeat.yml - 5.5.1

filebeat.prospectors  
- input\_type: log  
paths: ~  
document\_type: ~  
scan\_frequency: 30s  
close\_interactive: 1h

output.logstash:  
hosts: ~  
loadbalance: true  
worker: 2  
timeout: 60  
pipeling: 0  
max\_retries: -1

The memory leak issue has been solved in 6.5.1 in ommunity.  
Can you fix this without changing the version?  
Is there a version that's been fixed in 5.x?

And I want to analyze it in detail through "go tool pprof"  
But It didn't work. How do I use it??

ADD:  
"./filebeat -httpprof localhost:6060 -path.home -path.config -path.data -c"
