Just a note. The version you mentioned is not the latest of the 7.17 series. You should upgrade your version IMHO.

@dadoonet, as per this documentation Release notes | Elasticsearch Guide [7.17] | Elastic, seems 7.17.8 is the latest release on 7.17 series. Could you please help in point me if there is any new release available for 7.17 series.

Thanks
JN
