mdatp_audisp_plugin

[roger_jr]

I was wondering if anyone knows what /opt/microsoft/mdatp/sbin/mdatp_audisp_plugin  is used for on RHEL.

I've noticed it can consume allot of resources in some cases and hoping to find some documentation on this Microsoft Defender RHEL plugin.

The issue is, mdatp_audisp_plugin has a bug which the plugin might ingest unnecessary logs from audit logs.

My suggestion is open a ticket with Microsoft TAC and they can provide a work around.

Sure, will open a ticket with Microsoft. Thanks Roger

@kalyan190 Hi Kalyan, were you able to get any workaround for the issue. 

We are currently getting similar issue in Ubuntu 16.04 where below errors  in /var/log/syslog are quickly filling up the hard drive.
