Post upgrade to apm-server- 7-17-6, Elastic APM server is consuming more resources

Hello Elastic APM,

APM Server upgradation to 7.17.6 is consuming more resources

Hi Elastic Fans... I am in the process of upgrading ElasticAPMServer from 7.14.2 to 7.17.6 Things were working as expected in 7.14.2. To avoid vulnerability checks, we upgraded to 7.16.6 APMServer is managed by operator. Earlier three pods were sufficient for my sandbox/development cluster, now for the similar load HPA kicks in ... and I need to go till 10 pods with a reduction in throughput. ask: are we making any mistakes? btw, grouping is done by 'kubernetes.pod.name' in below visualisa…

I created this above topic/message but did not attach 'APM', is it the reason why I am not getting response for the above post?

Summary: after I upgraded apm server, I am able to see more resource usage (details in the above link). Details in the link.

APM Server version:
7-17-6
APM Agent language and version:
Java / version : 1.33
NodeJs/ javascript/ Version: 3.38

Regards
Vinod

Indeed, the APM Server team missed this one - sorry. We have automation to notify us of new topics with the APM & Server tags. I'll answer on the other topic.
