The resident memory of the filebeat keep increasing if hitting the "harvester_limit"

Elastic Stack Beats

Hi,

We used the filebeat to ship the logs to logstash. We used the filebeat version 7.3.1. We do set the

harvester_limit: 30
close_timeout: 15
close_inactive: 5m

for the input. It works fine for a while . At certain times whenever the harvester_limit configured is hitting the limit , its keeps increasing the resident memory until the harvester well in the threshold or until we restarted it.

I checked the 2 memory peak all happens at the times when the filebeat started to hitting the error.

Is this issue is already addressed and fixed in new releases ?
