Hello Everyone,

I am trying to update Winlogbeat to 7.16.2 to make it compatible with Logstash 7.16.2.  
Our configuration was already working between two stack on version 7.6.0, so we are upgrading just the minor version. Since we already have connectivity between the 2 server(I am able to telnet between 2), I am getting error "Failed to connect to backoff, An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"

Can some one let me know what configuration one needs to update to run both ELK stack to latest version
