Running 7.4, trying to push WIN10 events to Ubuntu Elasticsearch. Seeing the following when debugging on the Win10 box:  
"2019-11-11T12:08:14.383-0500 ERROR pipeline/output.go:100 Failed to connect to backoff(elasticsearch([http://172.16.42.130:9200](http://172.16.42.130:9200))): Get [http://172.16.42.130:9200](http://172.16.42.130:9200): dial tcp 172.16.42.130:9200: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."  
Please assist.

Can you reach the elasticsearch when you do a `curl http://172.16.42.130:9200` in powershell? Could be a firewall issue.

I got it, thanks. Had to change "localhost" to "0.0.0.0".
