Hi,  I am interested to know more if there is tactical remediation to this issue affecting 8.2.X? before upgrading to version 9.0 We are seeing very high CPU utilisation in our AWS EC2 instances, which has meant we have to restart the Splunk universal forwarder. Appreciate if Splunk have a remediation for this. Many thanks. ... View more

Hi All, We are also experiencing the same issue with one of the AWS Domain Controller, which has experience high CPU utilisation. Our support team has identified the splunk-winevtlog.exe was using 90% of the CPU when they login, it is back to 40% range which is still quite high. They have also see this on VDI instance where the splunk-winevlog.exe was also eating up all the CPU and I had to stop and start the service. Would appreciate on what remediation or solution was implemented and if Splunk Support have been able to come back. To confirm the Splunk UF we currently have deployed is 8.2.5. Thanks again in advance. ... View more
