Please, make sure there's no CPU utilization limit or CPU usage cap set by the hypervisor.

Similarly, Pondurance doesn't recommend using burstable cloud instances (like AWS T-series, Azure B-series, or Google Cloud shared-core machine types) for Log Forwarder appliances. Otherwise, the appliance may lose data when the CPU credits are exhausted.

Please, also make sure that features like Dynamic Memory (Hyper-V) or Memory Ballooning (VMware) are disabled.
