How much time does it take before you notice this behavior? How busy are the 
logs on this server? Are you using 4.3.1 or 4.5.1?

Hello --

According to the logs, the amount of time it took to reach the high level of 
memory usage was about four, 4, hours. The 4.3.1 64-bit version is what has 
been installed on the server. I forgot to mention in my original posting that 
VMWare Server is also present on the server with one virtual machine.

I just came here searching for a solution to evtsys memory problems.  Mine was 
consuming up to 2gig before I got memory warnings from my monioring software 
and decided to restart.  My version is also 4.5.1 64bit LP on windows 8.1

Hello -- I'll go with uninstalling the 4.3.1 release in favor of the 4.5.1 
version. I had one question: What is the advantage or need for using the LP as 
opposed to the 'standard' version?

I am also experiencing ever increasing memory usage by evtsys.  It seems to 
depend on how many events are being logged. Under normal conditions it takes 24 
to 48 hours to reach +5G of memory usage on my servers.  Lately I have had some 
processes over logging information (50K entries an hour) and it starts using 5G 
of memory every 1 to 2 hours. I am using version 4.4 on windows 2008 server.
