Splunk AWS Add-on consuming all memory and CPU

[eduardo1989]

Dear All,

I faced the following issue. I was using AWS add-on (5.0.0) to collect Generic S3 input from AWS but as soon as I start the collection the python script consume all memory and CPU of the host.
More interesting thing is that if I use the older version(4.6.1) the issue does not come up.
Thank you,
Eduardo
