Hi ​@0ber0n ,

Good day!

There will be multiple executable present under base folder once you install File system agent.

is this process causing any issue or you are just interested to know what it does?

Regards,

Hi ​@Sureshkumar S 

 

We are conducting an investigation and observed that this process was running. During that time, the process was showing the highest CPU usage, so our Security Teams want to know what the process does and why it's running.
