I have followed the instruction documented here <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/ReleaseNotes/RunningSplunkalongsideWindowsantivirusproducts">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/ReleaseNotes/RunningSplunkalongsideWindowsantivirusproducts</A> (Configure viruscan not to monitor Splunk directory and process) and yet when Splunk starts up McAfee process MFEVTPS.EXE cpu goes up. Is there any reason? </P> Wed, 06 Feb 2013 06:41:21 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/McAfee-process-MFEVTPS-EXE-consuming-CPU/m-p/21004#M232 elusive 2013-02-06T06:41:21Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/McAfee-process-MFEVTPS-EXE-consuming-CPU/m-p/21005#M233 <P>The issue appears to be with McAfee bug.
