Hi,

I test it on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Win7, with topbeat 1.1.1 from the download page of elastic.

I run a special .exe (TestLimit from sysinternal) that allocate 15 GB of RAM on my machine. In the global memory usage I can see this usage, but in the process result I have these :

```auto
{"@timestamp":"2016-03-02T14:31:12.040Z","beat":{"hostname":"W2K8R2","name":"W2K8R2"},"count":1,"proc":{"cpu":{"user":11421,"user_p":0,"system":4156,"total":15577,"start_time":"Aug12"},"mem":{"size":4294967295,"rss":4294967295,"rss_p":0.2,"share":0},"name":"Testlimit64.exe","pid":3024,"ppid":0,"state":"running"},"type":"process"}

```

When you look at the rss, you can see that the value is equal to 2^32, so is the rss value store on a int32 ? I didn't see anything in the github repo.

In advance thanks.

You are probably hitting this issue. [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/986](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/986)

So you need a 64-bit build of Topbeat.

Do I need to compile it, or a compile version exist?

You would need to [build it](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-dev-environment).

I found a place where you can download a 64-bit binary, but it's a development version taken directly from the latest build of the master branch (so no stability guarantees, [changelog is here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/beats/master/CHANGELOG.asciidoc)). [http://build-eu-00.elastic.co/view/Beats/job/beats-package/ws/src/github.com/elastic/beats/dev-tools/packer/build/](http://build-eu-00.elastic.co/view/Beats/job/beats-package/ws/src/github.com/elastic/beats/dev-tools/packer/build/)

The workspace containing the binaries gets deleted when a new build starts.

Thanks, I'm going to build it, it is really not that hard 🙂 thanks anyway

EDIT : here is the output

```auto
go get github.com/elastic/gosigar
# github.com/elastic/gosigar
cc1.exe: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in

```

so I will download it 😃
