How to resolve alert message from IT team regarding Splunkd on Windows: "Unusual behavior"..."scrape memory via LSASS"...?

I have installed Splunk on my office PC and I got a message from an IT engineer saying the following:

"We were alerted to unusual behavior from Splunkd on your machine. It attempted to scrape memory via LSASS and as such was terminated. Is this normal behavior for this application?"

Please let me know about this, otherwise I may have to remove Splunk from PC.

What I should know about this?
