Hi Realyn,

could you please give a bit more metadata around this topic? What do you mean with high utilization? What exacty version are you using? How did you install Winlogbeat? ZIP file or MSI file:  
[https://www.elastic.co/downloads/beats/winlogbeat](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/beats/winlogbeat)

What exact Operating System are you using?

At least for me configured as a Windows Service it's using less than 1% CPU utilization.
